Abstract
We disclose herein a simple and direct method to synthesize vicinal tricarbonyl compounds (VTC) from Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts. The method is based on two sequential oxidation steps which provide VTC in moderate to good yields. This is the first report of the synthesis of vicinal tricarbonyl compounds from MBH adducts.
