Abstract

Treatment of IV with acetic anhydride in pyridine gave an acetate that was identical with an authentic specimen of 2-methylenecyclooct-1-yl acetate (VI), prepared in 9. GYo yield from 2- hydroxycyclooctanone acetate and triphenylphosphine-methylene in a modified Wittig rea~ tion.~ J The authentic acetate was converted to 2-methylenecyclooctanol in G5% yield by treatment with methanolic potassium hydroxide. The infrared spectrum of IV was ...
