ChemInform Abstract: Cycloaddition of Isopropylidene Methylenemalonate to Isosafrole and Analogues.
Abstract
Isosafrole (I) and the styrenes (V) undergo cycloaddition reaction with isopropylidene methylenemalonate (II) to give the trioxaoctalinones (III) and (VI).
ChemInform Abstract
Isosafrole (I) and the styrenes (V) undergo cycloaddition reaction with isopropylidene methylenemalonate (II) to give the trioxaoctalinones (III) and (VI). Subsequent hydrolysis produces the lactones (IV) and (VII) or the pentenoic acid (VIII). (Yields partly given in g).
