✦ Synopsis
ABRAHAM and NEWTON1 obtained the lactone (I) from cephalosporin C. We have studied simpler lactones of this type. We made our compounds from the Mannich bases derived from pyruvic acid, formaldehyde and certain secondary amines: 2 for instance, piperidine sulphate gave the a-tetronic acid derivative (III), from which the free base (IV) was obtained by treatment with barium hydroxide.
We expected such Mannich bases to undergo substitution of the type advanced here to account for formation of the methylene derivative (V), CgHS06, a by-product* (the "C15Hl,+010-Acid") in the preparation of the hydrochloride (II).

The HMO method has been used to study tautomerism in diazonium couplingproducts of tetronic acids (1) and their 4-phenylhydrazones 15, model compounds for dehydroascorbic acid osazone. In addition, HMO calculations have been performed for 2,5-bis@henylhydrazono)cyclopentanone ( 28) and 1,3-bis(pheny
The lithium enolates generated from the tetronic acid derived vinylogous urethanes 3 and 4 have been found to undergo alkylation reactions with a variety of electrophiles to give products with predictable stereochemistry accompanied by very high diastereoselectivity.
