Abstract

Abstract: A variety of nitrones have been synthesized and reacted with Meldrum's acid without the aid of any catalysts. Selectively, 5-arylidene-2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxane-4, 6- diones have been obtained with excellent yields under environmentally benign reaction conditions. Whereas, nitrone of salisylaldehydes with Meldrum's acid afford cyclized products ie coumarin-3-carboxylic acids.
