Abstract
2-Hydroxy-3-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one was synthesized in a five-step synthesis starting from 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene. Novel intermediate steps include the hot tube isomerization of 1,1-dihalo-2-methyl-2-vinylcyclopropane to give 1-methyl-4,4-dihalocyclopent-1-ene, hydrolysis to 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one, epoxidation of the latter using a phase transfer catalyst, followed by catalyzed isomerization to produce 2-hydroxy-3-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one in high overall yield.
