Abstract
Abstract 2-Acylcyclopent-3-en-1-ol derivatives, 2, were synthesized by the reaction of homopyrones with phenyllithium. The intermediate may be a cyclopropylmethanol derivative, 3, which was isomerized into 2. Similar treatment with methyllithium, methylmagnesium iodide, or lithium aluminium hydride also gave 2.
