Procedure

Into 6 ml of dioxane, were dissolved 500 mg of 4-hydroxy-5-allyl-2-cyclopentenone and 450 mg of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. The solution was left standing at room temperature for 16 hours and the precipitated 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanohydroquinone was collected by filtration and washed with methylene chloride. The filtrate together with the washings was concentrated. The concentration residue was dissolved in 50 ml of methylene chloride, washed with a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, then with water until the washings had become neutral. The residue thus treated was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, stripped of the solvent by distillation, and purified by column chromatography using 20 g of a silica gel (Wako Gel C-200) and an ethyl acetate-n-hexane (2:3 by volume) mixture as eluent, to obtain 450 mg (91% yield) of 4-keto-5-allyl-2-cyclopentenone.
