Different Behavior of 2-Substituted 3-Nitro-2H-chromenes in the Reaction with Stabilized Azomethine Ylides Generated from α-Iminoesters
The AgOAc-catalysed reaction of 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-chromenes with stabilized azomethine ylides generated from the imines Girls Bag based on methyl glycinate and arylaldehydes leads to a mixture of endo and endo’ isomers of the corresponding chromeno[3,4-c]pyrrolidines in a ratio of 2.0–2.3:1 in 85–93% total yields as a result of a Michael ad
