Reaction of an enamine with 3-acetyl-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-4-one, a new synthetic route to β-triketone derivatives
Abstract
The reaction of 1-morpholinocyclohex-1-ene with 3-acetyl-2-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-4-one (dehydroacetic acid) gave a condensation product (I), which was transformed subsequently into the 4-pyrone (V) and the β-triketone (VII).
