Reactions of Meldrum's acid and its derivatives in view of their application in synthesis of diaminofurans,ketenimines, amidoesters, triamides, and diionic compounds, observed during the last decade in our laboratory,are reviewed.

The [3 + 2] annulation reaction of C,C,N-trisubstituted ketenimines with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes bearing aryl, styryl and vinyl substituents at the C2 position, triggered by the Lewis acid Sc(OTf)3, supplies highly substituted pyrrolidines. Activated cyclopropanes fused to naphthalene and [1]benzopyrane nuclei are also suitable substrates in similar transformations, yielding partially satu...

The 1:1 reactive intermediates produced in the reaction between alkyl isocyanides and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates were trapped with 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one to generate to highly functionalized ketenimines. A series of new 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one derivatives were synthesized in moderate yields. The advantages of the present method include good functional group tolerance and simple experi...

Under basic conditions and heat, ynamides can serve as precursors to ketenimines, whose synthetic potential is often hampered by their difficulty of access. Herein, we report that they undergo a [3+2] cycloaddition with 2-azaallyl anions, obtained from benzylimines under the same reaction conditions. This between two highly reactive intermediates, both generated in situ bench stable starting ma...
