Satisfactory Essays

To a magnetically stirred solution of 3-methylcyclopentene-1,2-dione 1 (1 mmol) and N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane 3 (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added dropwise a solution of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate 2 (1 mol%) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) at –10◦C over 15 min (Scheme 1). The mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at the same conditions (–10◦C) for 2 h, and then the mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and was stirred for 4 days. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the viscous residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel powder; petroleum ether–ethyl acetate, 10:1). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product 4 was obtained. The characterization
