Abstract A systematic study of the addition of various 1, 2-acyclic diones to activated acetylenic esters catalyzed by pyridine under mild conditions is described. This reaction provides a new protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of 1, 2-diaroyl maleates. The exclusive formation of the cis isomer is especially noteworthy. This reaction occurs through the initial generation of a pyridine–dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate zwitterion and its ...
