Earlier the authors found that the reaction of sterically screened dichlorocyclobutanones with 20% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution provides a general method for the production of 5-hydroxydihydrofuran-2-ones, which can be regarded as the cyclic forms of lambda-aldehydo acids. In the present work the authors synthesized 5-hydroxy-6-oxaspiro(3,4)octan-7-one and demonstrated the possibility of ring-chain tautomerism in this compound. 5,5-Dichloro-spiro(3.3)heptan-6-one was obtained with a 45% yield from methylenecyclobutane and dichloroketone. The IR spectrum contained absorption bands for the carbonyl groups at 1780 and 1720 cm/sup -1/ and also broad absorption bands for the hydroxyl groups in the regions of 2400-2800 and 3200-3600 cm/sup -1/. The /sup 1/H NMR spectrum contains signals for six protons of the methylene groups in the cyclobutane fragment in the range of 1.6-2.7 ppm and a signal at 2.8 ppm.
