Abstract

A number of naturally occurring butenolides, such as multicolic and multicolosic acid (Figure [1] ) isolated from Penicillium multicolor, contain a functionalized or non-functionalized alkyl chain at C-3. [5] However, the application of our dianion methodology [3a] to the synthesis of products containing an alkyl chain located at C-4 of the butenolide moiety, that is, at a different location, proved to be unsuccessful. For example, the reaction of dilithiated ethyl 3- ...
