Abstract

The reactions of F -2-methyl-2-pentene with activated methylene compounds such as acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, benzoylacetonitrile, and benzoylmethyl perfluoroalkyl ketones in the presence of potassium fluoride were carried out. Each reaction proceeded smoothly in acetonitrile at room temperature by using ‘freeze-dried’ potassium fluoride as a condensing agent. Acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave both divinyl ether and pyran compounds, whereas other activated methylene compounds afforded only pyrans in good yields.
