Abstract
Reinvestigation of the acid-catalyzed cyclization of 1-(3-hydroxypropynyl)cyclododecan-1-ol under the conditions of the Nazarov reaction demonstrated that this conversion yields two isomeric bicyclic ketones, namely, bicyclo[10.3.0]pentadec-1(12)-en-13-one and bicyclo[10.3.0]pentadec-1-en-3-one. The latter compound is thermodynamically less stable.
