Regioselective Synthesis of 2,2-Dimethylcyclopentanone Using 2-Pyrrolidone Magnesium Salt as Electrogenerated Base.

Abstract An efficient, direct and regioselective preparation of 2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone, via its enolate precursor regioselectively obtained using the 2-pyrrolidone magnesium salt, a base electrogenerated in DME/HMPA, is reported.
