Lactones 17. Synthesis of Bicyclic Lactones with the Methyl- or gem-Dimethylcyclopropane System
A new method of synthesis of bicyclic gamma-lactones with the methyl- or gem-dimethylcyclopropane system from gamma,delta unsaturated esters is described. The reaction of gamma-halo delta- lactones with DBU is the key step of this synthesis. The mechanism of the dehydrohalogenation- cyclization process of gamma-halo-delta-lactones is proposed. The structures of products were confirmed by both spectroscopic and crystallographic methods.
