Abstract

The cycloaddition of succinimido ketene to 2,3-dihydrofuran yields P-exo-succinimido bicyclo [3.2.0] 2-oxoheptan-6-one. This unusual stereochemistry is confirmed by 1H NMR and X-ray crystallography. The cyclobutanone product undergoes ring opening in concentrated hydrochloric acid to give 1-succinimido-5-chloro-2-pentanone.
