General description

Dimethyl acetylsuccinate undergoes sulfuric acid catalyzed Pechmann condensation with the corresponding resorcinol derivative to give 7-hydroxycoumarins.

Application

Dimethyl acetylsuccinate has been used in the synthesis of 2-oxofuro[2,3-b]pyrroles and 19-methyl-15-oxa-20-azatricyclo[12.3.3.0(1,14)]icos-18-en-18-carboxylates.
Reactant involved in:
  • Cyclization for the synthesis of β-carbolines
  • Synthesis of photochromic molecules with improved fatigue resistances and dark form stabilities
  • Asymmetric hydrogenation of acylsuccinate followed by lactonization for synthesis of oxotetrahydrofurancarboxylates
  • Amidation for synthesis of amino-acid derivatives of dihydropyranocoumarins
