Regioselective synthesis of 2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone using 2-pyrrolidone magnesium salt as electrogenerated base

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808005077

An efficient, direct and regioselective preparation of 2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone, via its enolate precursor regioselectively obtained using the 2-pyrrolidone magnesium salt, a base electrogenerated in DME/HMPA, is reported.
