Abstract

Three lactones which should be important intermediates in the synthesis of the corresponding natural terpenoidal lactones have been synthesized via thermolysis of benzocyclobutenes. Heating the benzocyclobutenes (7), (8) and (13) afforded the cyclized products (9), (10) and (14) respectively, in reasonable yields.
