| Abstract: | The original observation that 3(or 5)-methylcyclopent-2-en-2-ol-1-one (I) was formed (in low yield) by the treatment of glycidaldehyde with acetone in the presence of aqueous alkali, and speculations concerning the reaction mechanism, led to the realization that the reaction could also be carried out with glyceraldehyde. This suggested an explanation for the previously known formation of I by drastic alkali-treatment of carbohydrates. |
