Hh. Wasserman et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PYRROLINONECARBOXYLATES FORMED BY REACTION OF VICINAL TRICARBONYL DERIVATIVES WITH ALDEHYDE SCHIFF-BASES, Heterocycles, 35(2), 1993, pp. 975-995
A series of vicinal tricarbonyl derivatives undergo reaction with alde
hyde Schiff bases forming pyrrolinone derivatives by benzilic acid-rel
ated rearrangements. The structures were established by X-ray analyses
and, independently by the SESAMI NMR-based computer program.
