Procedure
2,4,4-trimethyl-cyclopent-2-en-1-one is reacted with nitromethane to give 2,4,4-trimethyl-3-nitromethyl-cyclopentanone which, after treatment with a base, is converted into 1-formyl-3-oxo-2,5,5-trimethyl-cyclopentane either with the aid of an oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate, ozone, or with a hydrohalic acid, a mineral acid or titanium trichloride.
