  • Various dienamide derivatives were synthesized in reasonable yields from benzonitriles having an amide moiety at the ortho-position, via the sequential (i) In-mediated allylation of nitrile moiety to form an imine intermediate, (ii) intramolecular quenching of an acyl group by the imine intermediate, and (iii) a proton transfer to dienamide.

  • We developed an efficient three-step synthetic protocol of $\gamma$-hydroxybutenolides starting from the Baylis-Hillman adducts: (i) bromination, (ii) Barbier reaction and (iii) one-pot $K_2CO_3$-mediated synthesis of $\gamma$-hydroxybutenolides. In addition, we showed the synthetic applicability of butenolides including self-dimerization, conjugate addition reaction, and alkylations.
