Abstract

Abstract A short and efficient synthesis of bis (1-methylcyclopropyl) ketone ({= 6}) via the spiro-acetal {= 4} from α-methyl-γ-butyrolactone ({= 1}) been found, and reductive dimerization of {= 6} by McMurry coupling yields tetrakis (1-methylcyclopropyl) ethylene ({= 7}) in competition with ring-opened products ({= 8} and ({= 9}).
