„Potassium salt” 6 , already described by Cookson, reacts with suitable electrophilic reagents to yield the enol esters 8–10 . A base‐catalyzed acylation of the hydroxy group in 8–10 cannot be achieved because deprotonation is immediately followed by a [1,5] ester migration. The same reaction occurs upon heating 8–10 to 80°C, leading to the 1,3‐keto enols 11, 12 , and 14 . Upon treatment of „alcohol” 7 with acetyl chloride only the dimer 3 of cyclopentadienone 2 can be isolated.
