Abstract
An alkyl intercepted Meyer-Schuster rearrangement reaction with α,β-unsaturated ketones as the electrophiles was first investigated, which provided a facile method to construct 2-methylene-pentane-1,5-diones. Then the in situ generated 2-methylene-pentane-1,5-diones underwent a Michael addition to give diverse 2-malononitrile methyl substituted pentane-1,5-diones in a one-pot fashion. This transformation was reliable on a gram scale. The high yield, convenient experimental operation, and 100% atom economy made it a valuable method for the construction of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pentane-1,5-dione derivatives.
