Summary

  1. 1.

    A suitable p~reparative method has been proposed for obtaining 2-methylcyclopentanone: it consists in the dehydration of the diol obtained b y oxidizing 1-methylcyclopentene with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and formic acid.

  2. 2.

    It has been shown that this method is of no value for the preparation of 2-methylcyclohexanone: in the case of the six-membered cycle, dehydration of the diol is accompanied by isomerization side reaction.

  3. 3.

    1-Butyl-2-methyleyclopentane has been synthesized from 2-methylcyclopentanone prepared by the above method, and it has been separated into its cis and trans isomers.
