Abstract

The condensation of phenyl Grignard reagent with excess 2, 2, 4-trimethyl-3-hydroxy-3- pentenoic acid 8-lactone (1) produced a triketone and a hydroxy diketone the structures of which were elucidated by instrumental and chemical methods. Mechanism of the reaction is postulated to involve reaction of anion intermediates of diisopropyl ketone with lactone 1 in a ring-opening process.
