The reaction of 2,2-dichloro-3-cyclopropylcyclobutanones with potassium hydroxide was studied.The direction of the reaction depends on the concentration of the potassium hydroxide; with a 2percent solution of potassium hydroxide 4,4-dichlorobutyric acids are formed with yields of up to 80percent, and with a 15percent solution of potassium hydroxide 5-hydroxydihydro-2-furanones are formed with yields of up to 80percent.Proposals are made about mechanism of formation of 5-hydroxydihydro-2-furanones.
