Abstract

3-Acyloxy-5-(2-phenylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-ones II were prepared by O-acylation of 5-(2-phenylethenyl)-1,3-cycloxanedione (I). Treatment of II with AlCl3 resulted in rearrangement of the acyl group to the double bond of the phenylethenyl grouping followed by cyclization to 8-acyl-7-phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diones III. Their structure was evidenced by analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data.
