✦ Synopsis
Vicinal dianions derived from diethyl a-aroylsuccinates were found to react with carbonyl compounds b-regioselectively to afford a-aroyl-g-butyrolactones, which were converted into a-arylidene-g-butyrolactones by reduction with H 2 /Pd-C followed by elimination employing methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine. The method provides a general and convenient route to a-aroyland a-arylidene-g-butyrolactones.
