โฆ Synopsis
Sequential dichlorocyclopropanation and ethoxide induced lactone cleavage of bridgehead enol lactones affords a stereocontrolled synthesis of 2-chlorocycloheptenones. Bridgehead enol lactones (2),' prepared by Type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of trienol esters (1) have been shown to be of value in the stereo-and regiocontrolled synthesis of six-membered rings* (eq. 1).
In an effort to develop the synthetic utility of bridgehead enol lactones, we report that the sequence of transformations involving dichlorocyclopropanation followed by reaction with ethanolic K,CO, provides a versatile synthetic entry into functionalized 2-chlorocycloheptenones.
The steps are outlined in Scheme 1.

We would like to report a new general ring contraction reaction according to the following scheme (eq. l(a),R = ArSO,): The enol ether la derived from a cyclic ketone is reacted with a suitable aside leading via an intermediate unstable 6'-triazoline & to the ring-contracted imidate ester 3a.
