Abstract
As a test for possible competitive α- and β-enolization in bicyclic ketones the behavior of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone in t-BuO−–t-BuOH at 185 °C has been examined. The major reaction (∼90%) involves Claisen condensation followed by retro Diels-Alder elimination of ethylene and Haller–Bauer cleavage. All acidic and phenolic components, accounting for 90% of the product, have been identified and characterized, primarily by their 13Cmr spectra.Keywords
