Conjugate addition of 2-heteroaryl-1,3-dithianes to furan-2(5H)-one
Abstract
Conjugate addition of lithiated 2-heteroaryl-1, 3-dithianes to furan-2(5H)-one has been successfully achieved. This reaction proceeds with higher yields than the addition of the 2-aryl derivatives, although it fails if the heteroaryl ring has strong deactivating substituents.
