Abstract

Several mono-and bicyclic 6-methoxy-2-pyrones having substituents at C4 and C5 can be prepared regiospecifically by either of two routes:(1) regiospecific construction of a glutaconic half-ester followed by dehydrative cyclization, and (2) regiospecific Friedel-Crafts acylation of 6-methoxy-2-pyrones at C5. These pyrones undergo clean and regiospecific Diels-Alder cycloadditions with various unsymmetrical dienophiles, eg, quinones, ...
