An expedient access to optically active spiro-[butyrolactone-pyrrolidine] was successfully developed via an unprecedented Cu(I)-catalyzed exo-selective 1,3-DC of azomethine ylides with α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, which exhibited high diastereoselectivity (>98 : 2), excellent enantioselectivity (96->99% ee) and a broad substrate scope under mild conditions.

(+) and (-) alpha-methylene-hexahydrobenzofuranone derivatives with a stereochemically pure cis ring junction were used as models of sesquiterpene lactones to study their photoreactivity toward thymidine. After 313 nm irradiation of a deoxygenated acetone solution of lactone models and thymidine, six

The synthesis of a series of alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones (compounds 4a, 4b, 6-12, 16, 17) and alpha,beta-unsaturated-delta-lactones (compounds 19-23, 25, 26) starting from 4,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2,3-dione (1) has been described. Their chemical structures were assigned by spectroscopic evidence. These new compounds exhibited significantly different

A zinc or indium-mediated Barbier-type allylation of aldehydes with 3-bromomethyl-5H-furan-2-one in aqueous solvents was developed to provide an efficient route to α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone, which is synthetically very useful. The desired products were obtained in moderate to high yields in aqueous solvents.

Allergic contact dermatitis due to plants is common. Potentially allergenic plants and plant products are found in many everyday environments, such as the home, the garden, the workplace, and recreational settings. By improving our knowledge of allergenic plant-derived chemical compounds
