Abstract

Abstract Acetals like 3, 3-diethoxypropionate bearing electron-withdrawing groups were found to undergo cyclodimerization and cyclotrimerization in the presence of Lewis acids to give coumalates and 1, 3, 5-trisubstituted benzenes. The selectivity of these products depended on the Lewis acids employed. For instance, ethyl coumalate was obtained from ethyl 3, 3-diethoxypropionate in high selectivity under the influence of d-block Lewis acids ...
