Cyclopropane Derivatives, 3. - (1-Alkylcyclopropyl)ketones by Acylation of α-Substituted γ-LactonesThe 2-acylation of 2-substituted 4-butanolides 2 is moderately sensitive to steric crowding, whereas the subsequent ring- opening of 2-acyl-2-alkyl-4-butanolides 4, 11 to give-chloro ketones 6, 12 by chloride-transferring acid derivatives be-comes difficult with bigger lactone substituents. Similar observations pertain to the preparation of y-chlorobutanoyl chlorides 10 from 2-alkyl-4-butanolides 2. The proper choice of the starting 4-butanolides (2a, b or 14 but not 2c) provides for an indirect coupling of two different lactones to y,y-dichloro ke-tones 12. Dicyclopropyl ketones 13 with variable patterns of substitution may thus be prepared from 4-butanolides in a direct manner with global yields exceeding 50% and without purification of intermediate products (except for acid chlorides like 10).
