regiospecific [4 + 2] cycloaddition of readily available cyclobutenones and active methylene ketones has been developed. On the basis of this strategy, persubstituted phenols/anilines with up to six different functional groups on the benzene ring were synthesized in a single step. In addition, a series of acridine derivatives were prepared in excellent yield from persubstituted phenols/anilines.
fully substituted 2-pyridone 2 and functionalized α-pyrones 3 are synthesized starting from cyclobutenones 1 under a base-promoter in toluene at 80 ℃. This rearrangement is complimentary to the previously reported ringexpansion of cyclobutenones, providing a divergent synthesis of corresponding products from the same precursor 1. In addition, α-pyrones 3 has also been applied to the synthesis of aromatic
