Syntheses of Some Oyclopopxl Conjugated 1, 2-Diketojjes

Abstract

A very recent publication by Guillaud, Pierre and Arnaud ¹ on the preparation and reactivity in basic media of some cyclopropyl conjugated 1,2-diketones prompted us to report our synthetic results in the same field. In connection with our interest in cyclopropyl conjugated carbonyl systeams way of preparing cyclopropyl conjugated 1,2-diketones is by oxidation of aither compound (I)or (II) with selenium dioxide.
