Vv. Veselovsky et al., MICHAEL REACTIONS WITH TRANS-3-ISOPROPENYL-2-PHENYLTHIOCYCLOPENTAN-1-ONE AND NS-3-ISOPROPENYL-2-PHENYLSULFONYLCYCLOPENTAN-1-ONE, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(1), 1993, pp. 106-110
The condensation of methyl acrylate with the title beta-ketosulfide an
d beta-ketosulfone was studied. The primary adduct of beta-ketosulfone
with acrolein readily undergoes intramolecular aldolization to give b
icyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives. The molecular structure of one of the
m was elucidated by X-ray analysis.
