<p>The invention concerns a process for manufacturing diesters of bicyclo[3.3.0]-octane dicarboxylic acid having general formula (I), where R1 is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group with 1 to 10 C atoms. The process is charaterized by the fact that a 2-cyclopentenone derivative having general formula (III), where R2 is a hydrogen atom or a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group with 1 to 10 C atoms, which can be substituted, if necessary, by a phenyl group, is converted in the presence of a base with a diester of aceton dicarboxylic acid having formula (IV), where R1 has the meaning given above.</p> |
