Abstract

This work describes a novel reaction involving 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP)-methyl phenylpropiolate zwitterion and diaryl 1,2-diones, leading to the facile synthesis of substituted butenoic acid esters.

Key words

zwitterions - DMAP - methyl phenylpropiolate - benzil - diaryl 1,2-diones
