Abstract

Recently it has been shown that the dirhodium tetraacetate-catalyzed decomposition of a- diazo carbonyl compounds in the presence of furans leads mostly to the unraveling of the heterocycles with the production of 1, 4-diacyl-1, 3-butadienes.'The intramolecular version of this reaction has yielded cycloalkenones@-substituted by acrolein side chains (or their ketone equivalents)(eqs It now became of interest to investigate the latter reaction in the ...
