Microwave-assisted synthesis of 4-oxo-2-butenoic acids by aldol-condensation of glyoxylic acid

Abstract: A new method for the synthesis of 4-oxo-2-butenoic acids is described by aldol condensation with methyl ketones. Substrate dependent conditions are rationalised mechanistically with quantum mechanically derived molecular orbital energies.

“…For those carboxylic acids ( 2 ) not commercially available, the α,β-unsaturated system was accessed via an aldol condensation between the appropriate methylketone 3 and glyoxylic acid 4 using microwave conditions with pyrrolidinium acetate or p -toluenesulfonic acid ( Scheme 3 a). 21 Alternatively, electron rich arenes directly underwent Friedel–Crafts acylation with maleic anhydride 5 to generate carboxylic acids 2 in moderate yields ( Scheme 3 b).…”
