117. The formation of carboxylic acid 3m can be explained from retro-Claisen reaction of 2-acetylcyclopentanone with tert-butyl alcohol followed by alkyl-oxygen bond cleavage of tert-hutyl ester under the same reaction conditions. Moreover, in situ generation of water from iron-salt-catalyzed dehydration of tert/-butyl alcohol through an El mechanism followed by retroClaisen condensation of 2-acetylcyclopentanone with in situ generated water also can be considered.
