Abstract
The oxidation of phenol with dioxygen in the presence of copper metal, primary alcohols and pyridine, under mild conditions, produces new co mpounds deriving from the aromatic ring contraction (alkyl 2-oxo-4,5,5 -trialkoxycyclopent-3-ene-1-carboxylate 2) which were characterized by H-1 and C-13-NMR. In particular an X-ray study of the methyl derivati ve is reported.
