| Abstract: | A cyclobutanone to cyclobutane conversion has been performed on 7-methyl-7-vinylbicyclo3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one by low-temperature (25°C) Wolff-Kishner reduction of the hydrazone derivative. Upon heating, the exo-vinyl epimer affords predominantly cis-6-methyl-4,7,8,9-tetrahydroindene. |
