Abstract

All products described showed satisfactory spectroscopic and analytical data. By-products were the corresponding parent ketone, some trimer and ca. 10% 2, 4-dimethyl-l-penten-3- one in the case of la. Liquids were isolated and separated on a 2Gft carbowax 20M column at 200", while solids were purified by crystallization and dry-column chromatography. e Reference 4a, c. d The mesoldl ratio was determined by NaBHa reduction into the ...
