Abstract

a-Methylene-y-butyrolactones were prepared in high yields on treatment of N- monosubstituted 2-[(tri-butylstannyl) methyl] propenamides with aldehydes in the presence of a Lewis acid followed by acidic hydrolysis of the resulting y-hydroxy amides. Asymmetric synthesis of a-methylene-y-butyrolactones was investigated by using a variety of chiral 24 (tributylstannyl) methyl] propenamides derived from optically active amines. Reaction of N- ...
