Abstract

A new three-component reaction between alkyl aryl(hetaryl)ketoximes, acetylene, and aliphatic ketones in the superbasic systems KOH/DMSO and LiOH/CsF/DMSO (70–90 °C, initial acetylene pressure 13–15 atm, 5–60 min) affords novel 4-methylene-3-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in yields of up to 75%. Using KOH/DMSO, the side products of the reaction are O-vinylketoximes and 2-aryl(hetaryl)pyrroles, while with LiOH/CsF/DMSO, the reaction proves to be selective, only minor amounts of the corresponding alkyl aryl(hetaryl) ketones being detectable.
