Abstract

Acid catalysed reaction of carvone epoxide 2 resulted in dimeric products 3 and 4, in contrast to the expected ring contraction product. Reaction of β-methylcarvone epoxides 8 and 11 with acids furnished 2-acetyl-4-isopropenylcyclopentanones 9 and 14 containing a stereodefined quaternary carbon atom. On the other hand, the reaction of epoxides 8 and 11 with boron trifluoride etherate lacks the stereoselectivity and in addition, anti-epoxide 8 furnished lactone 18 via an unusual deep seated rearrangement.
