Reaction Steps

Tanomori et al., Biosci. Biotech. Biochem. 1995, 59: 2091-2093, discloses the reaction of 1-methoxycarbonyl-2-oxo-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane with potassium acetate and acetic acid in dimethylsulfoxide at 90° C. (4 hours) to obtain 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-acetyl-cyclopentanone. The reference further discloses a formal total synthesis of (+)-carbovir by conversion of the cyclopentanone.
