Heteroarylmethylenephosphorus
ylides underwent Michael addition
with alkynediones and alkynediesters, followed by intramolecular cyclization
and elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide to afford 1,2-diaroylbenzenes
and 1,2-alkoxycarbonylcarbo- and heterocycles. The analogous
(4 + 2) cycloaddition led to the formation of 2,3-diaroylquinolines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
