MgO was used for the first time as a heterogeneous basic catalyst to synthesize β-keto-1,3-dithianes, potentially useful synthetic intermediates, from conjugated ynones and ynoates. ... High surface area magnesium oxide, MgO, is an excellent catalyst for triggering the double Michael addition of 1,3- ...
