Dedicated to Professor Heinz Heimgartner on the occasion of his 65th birthday On irradiation (350 nm) in benzene solution, dihydropyranone 3 affords predominantly (75%) the cis-anti-cis HH-dimer 4, but in smaller amounts (12%) also dimer 5, wherein one of the six-membered rings is trans-fused to the

β¦ Synopsis
Selective terminal oxidation of 3,3-dimethyl-4-pentenoates does occur under chloride-free Wacker conditions [Pd(OAc)2/02] in AcOH to give 5-acetoxy-3.3-dimethyl-4pentenoates ( 7) and their analogues (2. 8) in good yields. Successive cyclization of 7 and 8 at vapor phase pyrolysis on SiO2 affords '3,.
Among numerous routes') for synthetic pyrethroid insecticides such as 3-(2,2dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylates (3), 3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl_2H_pyran-2-one (1) has been thought to be one of the most hopeful key compounds for the stereoselective synthesis of more active cis-isomers. However, lack of a facile path to dihydropyranone 1 has impeded this route. The existing way to 1 from 3,3-dimethyl-4-pentenoates (4) consists of a thorny one; i.e., photochemical addition of thiophenol in the presence of BPO, chlorination by N-chlorosuccinimide, and oxidation using excess of copper(I1) salts to give 3,3-dimethyl-5oxopentanoates (2), followed by cyclization by phosphorus pentoxide. la)
