Abstract

Lithiation of aliphatic 1-acylbenzotriazoles with subsequent reaction with α, β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes affords either 3, 4, 6-trisubstituted 3, 4-dihydropyran-2-ones or 1, 3- dienes depending on the carbonyl reagent used. Substituent effects on product yield and isomer ratio are discussed.
