A FACILE METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF 5-ALKOXY-1,4-DIKETONES

Abstract
The title compoun\={a}s were prepared efficiently by Lewis acid catalyzed reaction of 1,2-bis(trimethylsiloxy)-1-cyclobutene with acetals, followed by addition of the Grignard reagent and ring cleavage of the resulting vis-diols with Pb(OAc)4.
