Abstract

7.8%). The starting material recovered (60%) has been partly isomerized to its trans isomer 4 (1/4 ratio of 2/1 estimated by LC). The structure of 2 was deduced from its spectroscopic properties and was confirmed by the chemical reaction shown below. Compound 3 was identified by comparison with an authentic sample which was prepared from 1-cyclohexene- 1-carbonyl chloride and
