Abstract

Abstract: A design of terpene synthesis based on the acid-induced transformations of cyclopropyl ethers and p-methoxycyclopropylcarbinols into quaternary a-methyl and a-vinyl carbonyl compounds, respectively, is described. Similar reactions with gem- dimethoxycyclopropanes are portrayed. A cyclopropylamine is shown to be inert. p- Methoxycyclopropanecarboxylic esters are converted into y-ketocarboxylic acid ...
