โฆ Synopsis
Radical ring-opening reactions of bicyclo[4.2.0]octanones, its C6 alkyl derivatives, and tricyclic ketones promoted by SmI 2 gave cyclohexanones via fission of the external cyclobutane bond. The CO 2 Me, CN, and phenyl derivatives led to the production of the eight-membered ring compounds through cleavage of the central cyclobutane bond. Using this regioselective reaction, the synthesis of (ยฑ)-acorenone was achieved.
