Alkaline hydrolysis of bis 3 leads to 2-cycloalken-1-ones 6.Intramolecular Wittig reaction of an intermediately formed monoacyl ylide 4 and intramolecular aldol condensation of a diketone 5, resulting from hydrolysis of both ylide functions, are discussed as possible reaction mechanisms.The oxidation of 3 with H2O2 * Ph3PO yields 7- and 8-membered 2-cycloalkene-1,4-diones 12, presumely via mono ylides 11 carrying an aldehyde group in the ω-position.The reactions of 3 with aldehydes (molar ratio 1:1) lead to the formation of mono Wittig compounds 15 which can cyclize affording 5- and 6-membered 3-alkenyl-2-cycloalken-1-ones 16.Since the ylides 3 are easily available from acid anhydrides the reaction sequences represent versatile approaches for the transformation of acid anhydrides into 2-cycloalken-1-ones.
