General strategy for the synthesis of natural and unnatural dialkylmaleic anhydrides.
Starting from alkylidenesuccinimides, a wide range of dialkylmaleic anhydrides have been synthesized via the generation of a carbanion on a succinimide unit and its condensation with various alkyl halides as the key reaction.
