Furansversus 4H-pyrans: catalyst-controlled regiodivergent tandem Michael addition–cyclization reaction of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds†
Abstract
The DBU-catalyzed reaction of 1-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds produces 4H-pyrans in moderate to excellent yield, whereas the cationic Pd(II)-catalyzed reaction affords
