An improved procedure for α-methylenation of lactones
Murta,De Azevedo,Greene
, p. 495 - 503 (2007/10/02)
A variety of γ-butyrolactones, as well as a δ-valerolactone and an ester, have been efficiently converted to their α-methylene derivatives by using an improved decarboxylative methylenation procedure, which is simpler and more general than the previously
Reactions of Styrene Oxide with Some Active Hydrogen Compounds
Hashem, A. I.,Shaban, M. E.
, p. 807 - 808 (2007/10/02)
Styrene oxide reacts with diethyl malonate in the presence of sodium ethoxide to give the intermediate carboxylactones (IIa and IIb).Decarboxylation of the latter produces the corresponding butyrolactones (Ia and Ib).Styrene oxide also reacts with ethyl c
