Abstract
The enolates of cyclic beta-ketoesrers react with electrophilic acetyl enes to give the corresponding Michael adducts in good yields when the reaction is performed in acetone in the presence of catalytic amounts of K2CO3. The Michael adducts resulting from ethynylmethylketone, whe n refluxed in toluene in the presence of catalytic amounts of pTsOH, u ndergo an intramolecular aldol reaction leading mainly to bicyclo [n. 3. 1] alkadienones besides Robinson annulation products.
