Abstract

An α‐alkylidation of cyclopentanone was achieved in two reaction steps in an overall yield of 20 to 79% via a zinc chloride‐catalyzed thioalkylation of the zinc enolate of methyl 2‐oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (3) and subsequent saponification/desulfurization of the β‐(phenylthio) ketone intermediates 5. For the saponification/desulfurization step DABCO proved to be the reagent of choice and superior to the use of alkali or magnesium halides.

## Abstract α‐Alkylation of the α,β‐unsaturated ketone 1 at C‐4 has been achieved by thioalkylation of the corresponding zinc dienolate with α‐chlorosulfides of type 2. The desulfurization of the β‐(phenylthio) ketones 4 leads directly to the 4‐substituted hexahydroinden‐5‐ones 5. magnified image
