Abstract
The lactonisation of ethylene 1,1-dioxy 2-methyl 3-oxo cyclopentane-2 propionic acid has been affected by a new method whose mechanism is discussed. The formation of a β-diketone and other products by isomerisation of the enol lactone has been avoided. The enol lactone is an important intermediate in the total synthesis of steroids and has been prepared with a good yield by the new method.
