Abstract
Tertiary cyclopropanol compounds react with a catalytic amount of vanadyl acetylacetonate in the presence of oxygen affording β-hydroxyketones and β-diketones. For 3-substituted-bicyclo[4.1.0]alkanols, peroxides are obtained, as are the β-hydroxyketones. Conversely, 2- ethoxycarbonylcyclopropyl silyl ethers produce ethyl γ-oxocarboxylate derivatives given the same reaction conditions.
