Abstract
The reactions of 2(2-isopropanol)cyclobutanones with phosphorous pentoxide lead to ring opened carboxylic acids. Reaction of 2-isopropylidenecyclobutanones with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) gives ring cleavage rearrangement products. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed in the light of the observed different reactions of the corresponding cyclopentanones.Keywords
