Reaction Steps

The product is dehalogenated as in Example 1C using zinc and acetic acid and the 4-heptylbicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one is converted to the oxirane (Formula I, X=--(CH2)6 --CH3) by the process of Example 2 using dimethylsulfonium methylide at room temperature. By the process of Example 3 there is formed 4-heptylbicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-one.
