Abstract
Copper-mediated tandem vicinal difunctionalisation of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, followed in selected cases by oxidation of one of the substituents, provides a versatile and rapid route to a variety of natural and unnatural disubstituted maleic anhydrides.
Key words
conjugate additions - copper - maleic anhydrides - natural products - tandem reactions
