Abstract
Investigation of the reaction of (chlorocarbonyl)mesitylketene with ketones led to the discovery of a new synthetic pathway which yields 4-hydroxy-3-m esityl tetronic acids. Depending on the reaction conditions and the substit ution pattern of the starting ketone, the expected products, i.e. 4-hydroxy -3-mesitylpyrones, can nevertheless be obtained.
