Item A new benzannulation reaction(1994) Weiss, Trent Jason; Ciufolini, Marco A.A new benzannulation reaction was discovered. The reaction involves intramolecular attack into a carbon-carbon triple-bond by the alpha position of a beta-ketoester under acidic conditions. Four different beta-ketoester starting materials were prepared and were successfully cyclized. This benzannulation methodology should provide a convenient pathway for forming aromatic products to be used as building blocks in the syntheses of anti-tumor antibiotics.
