Abstract
A regioselective electro-acetoxylation of 1-(cis-3-hexenyl)-2-cyclopentene-1-carboxylic acid in a Et3N–AcOH–AcOEt–t-BuOH–(Pt electrodes) system afforded 3-acetoxy-1-(cis-3-hexenyl)-1-cyclopentene (7a) (98%). Alkaline hydrolysis of 7a followed by the oxidation with chromium trioxide gave the desired 3-(cis-3-hexenyl)-2-cyclopenone smoothly.
