Abstract

The reaction of cyclic cr-bromokctones with bases ha.9 been extensively invcstigatcd. Dchydrobromination sometimes produces u&uwahra&d ketones and some- times my@ acidic products by a ring contrac- tion knuwn as the Favorski reaction.' This paper reports a novel Favorski reaction of some cyclic a- dibromudikctoncs with various bases, during which cy&propal% intcrmediatcs are probably invo1vcd. In one case such a cyclopropane was isolated. !Jomc of the ...
