β¦ Synopsis
2-(4-Ketoalkyl)cyclopentanones, when subjected to the action of 1 M H 2 SO 4 at reflux, undergo ring cleavage and formation reactions to give 4-(1-cyclopentenyl)butanoic acids. When the starting ring is six-membered instead, a bicyclic enone results. Mechanistic discussion and some experimental tests are put forth.

## Abstract Reaction of linalool oxide (**1**) with acids leads to a variety of dehydration products which are shown to be aliphatic dienones and/or monocyclic enones. A mechanism is proposed to account for the generation of all these compounds.
