Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl-1-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-2-oxo-1-cyclopentanecarboxylate (78.4 g), HMPA (hexamethylphosphoramide, 250 ml) and LiCl (34 g) is heated to 73° C. for 36 hrs. Extraction (3 times, ether/water) of the reaction product provides a brown oil which, upon fractional distillation (63° C.-75° C./5.32×102Pa), yields 2-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-1-cyclopentanone.
