Unexpected manganese(iii) acetate-mediated reactions of β-enamino carbonyl compounds with 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-enones under mechanical milling conditions†‡
Abstract
The solvent-free reactions of β-enamino carbonyl compounds with 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-enones in the presence of manganese(III) acetate dihydrate unexpectedly afforded 2-acyl-3-aryl-6,7-dihydro-4(5H)-benzofuran derivatives under mechanical milling conditions.
