Small-Ring Compounds. XIII. The Mechanism of Racemization of Optically Active 2,4-Dichloro-3-phenylcyclobutenone

Abstract

Racemization of optically active 2,4-dichloro-3-phenylcyclobutenone has been shown to involve reversible formation of (1-phenyl-2-chloroethenyl)-chloroketene 2,4-dichloro-3-phenyl-3-butenoic acid yields 2,4-dichloro-3-phenylcyclobutenone on treatment with acetic anhydride.
