On the behaviour of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in carbonylation and Khand reactions
摘要:
Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) has been used as the alkyne component in the Khand reaction with norbornene under both thermal and N-oxide promoted conditions. Its thermolysis under CO pressure has also been reinvestigated and the structure of one of the trinuclear rearrangement products, MeO2C . CH2CCo3(CO)(9), confirmed by X-ray crystallography; (MeOOC)(2)CHCH(COOMe)(2) is the principal metal-free product from this reaction. Methyl but-2-ynoate undergoes similar rearrangement yielding MeO2C . CHMe . CCo3(CO)(9). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
