“…In its turn, (-alkoxyvinyl)oxoacetates exhibit an unique atom arrangement, which has been used efficiently in the synthesis of many heterocyclic scaffolds such as pyran-2ones, 13 pyrimidines, 14 bicyclic N,O-acetals, 15 pyrazole-3carboxylates, 16 and pyrazolo-and triazolopyrimidines condensed to a lactone ring. 17 Furthermore, 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds have been used for the synthesis of valuable five-membered heterocyclic compounds such as furans, 18 pyrroles, 19 and thiophenes, 20 as well as six-membered heterocyclic compounds such as pyridazines.…”
