Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)-cis-cyclopropane-1-acetate (III) on heating with phosphoric acid affords (+)-homoterpenyl methyl ketone (IIa).Bromination of III at 0 deg C in the presence of sodium acetate affords among other products methyl 2,4-dimethylphenylacetate (VIII).Methyl 1R-cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (XI) on heating with phosphoric acid affords 3,3-dimethyl-4-(2-oxopropyl)butyrolactone (XIV).Methyl 1S-cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (XIII) on similar treatment affords the 3,3-dimethyl-4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)butyrolactone (XV).
