title: 1,2- vs 1,4-Addition of acylbenzotriazoles to alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. A novel route to 3-alkyl-4,6-diaryl-3,4-dihydropyran-2-ones.
abstract: Lithiation of aliphatic 1-acylbenzotriazoles with subsequent reaction with alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes affords either 3,4,6-trisubstituted 3,4-dihydropyran-2-ones or 1,3-dienes depending on the carbonyl reagent used. Substituent effects on product yield and isomer ratio are discussed.
