3-Alkoxyacroleins in Organic Synthesis

All articles of this category 3-Alkoxyacroleins are reviewed as useful C 3 building blocks for cyclizations and C-C bond connections. They open pathways to a variety of heterocyclic systems with up to fourteen-membered rings and permit oxopropenylations of carbon nucleophiles, resulting in other versatile intermediates such as α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 1-alkoxy-1,3-dienes. 1.
