Abstract
Monosubstituted pyrrolizin-3-ones 1 with substituents at the 1-, 5-, 6-or 7-positions are prepared in excellent yield by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of appropriate Meldrum's acid derivatives 2. The mechanism involves formation of the pyrrol-2-ylmethylideneketene 29, which can also be generated thermally from 3-(pyrrol-2-yl) propenoate esters (eg 30). This alternative route has been used to make a range of 2-substituted pyrrolizin-3-ones, again ...
