Abstract
The irradiation of 2 in acetonitrile or methanol with λ 254 nm yields the tetronic acid derivative 3. The (thermal) BF3‐catalyzed rearrangement of 2 yields the same tetronic acid derivative. The structure of the tetronic acid 3 has been determined by means of X‐ray analysis; it forms monoclinic crystals with cell constants a = 10.868, b = 8.320, c = 20.936 Å and β = 90.65°. The space group is P21/n; in the unit cell there are eight molecules which exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Copyright © 1983 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
