Abstract
|
The reaction of dibenzoyleacetylene with cyclic or acyclic enamino carbonyl compounds in water leads to the corresponding 3-alkylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-ol or 3-alkylidene-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydro-4H-indol-2-ol derivatives in high yield. When the reactions were carried out in CH2Cl2, yields were lowered and, in some cases, mixtures of products were obtained.
