✦ Synopsis

1,4-Diketones are useful intermediates for further transformation into cyclopentenones and furans, and, although a considerable amount of quite ingenious effort has been directed toward finding a general route to their syntheais3, there remains room for improvement. We wish to report one new route to 1,4-diketones and to illustrate its utility in a synthesis of cia-jasmone'.
