Za. Krasnaya et al., INTERACTION OF AMINALS OF CONJUGATED OMEGA-DIMETHYLAMINOALDEHYDES WITH CYCLIC BETA-DICARBONYL COMPOUNDS, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(2), 1994, pp. 264-268
Reactions of animals of conjugated omega-dimethylaminoaldehydes with M
eldrum's acid, N,N'-(o-phenylene)malonamides, and 2,3-dihydrophenalene
-1,3-dione afford delta-dimethylaminodienones, substituted 2-dimethyla
mino-2H-pyrans, or oxanine salts. Cation-anionic polymethine dyes have
been obtained from the latter.
