K(2)CO(3)-catalyzed Michael addition-lactonization reaction of 1,2-allenyl ketones with electron-withdrawing group substituted acetates. An efficient synthesis of alpha-pyrone derivatives

Org Lett. 2002 Feb 21;4(4):505-7. doi: 10.1021/ol0170859.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Alpha-pyrone derivatives were synthesized via the base catalyzed or promoted reaction of 1,2-allenyl ketones and electron-withdrawing group substituted acetates. The reaction was believed to proceed through a Michael addition C-C double-bond migration-lactonization process.
