Application

Can be coupled with glyoxals in a one-step route to 4-hydroxycyclopentanones. Also used to prepare 2H-pyran-2-ones from oxazolones.
Reactant for stereoselective synthesis of:
  • Polysubstituted cyclopentanones via double Michael addition reactions
  • Hydroindanes via asymmetric quadruple aminocatalytic three-component domino condensation and spirocyclization
  • Oxocyclohexenecarboxylates by cyclocondensation

Reactant for preparation of:
  • γ-(Dioxobutylidene)butenolides
  • Chain conjugated 2H-pyran-5-carboxylates
  • 2-Substituted pyridoacridines with antitumor activity by means of thermolysis
