Abstract
We found that nitrogen-containing Lewis base mediated [4+2] annulation of but-3-yn-2-one with activated ketones could proceed efficiently to give the corresponding 2,3-dihydropyran-4-ones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The substrate scope has been carefully examined. Moreover, a plausible reaction mechanism for the [4+2] annulation of but-3-yn-2-one with activated ketones mediated by DABCO has been proposed on the basis of previous literature and our own investigations.
