D. Bonafoux et al., REGIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 2,2-DIMETHYLCYCLOPENTANONE USING 2-PYRROLIDONE MAGNESIUM SALT AS ELECTROGENERATED BASE, Synthetic communications, 28(1), 1998, pp. 93-98
An efficient, direct and regioselective preparation of 2,2-dimethylcyc
lopentanone, via its enolate precursor regioselectively obtained using
the 2-pyrrolidone magnesium salt, a base electrogenerated in DME/HMPA
, is reported.
