ملخص: Potassium tert-butoxide induced self-condensation of 1-acetyl-2-methyl-cyclopentene leads to 6-methyl-4-(2′-methylcyclopent-1′-enyl)bicyclo[4.3.0]non-3-en-2-one 2 in 35% yield when one equivalent of dimethyl sulfate is added. Dienone 2 undergoes facile autoxidation leading to the corresponding epoxide 12 and triketone 13.
