Abstract

The reaction of 5-arylidene (alkylidene)-2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxane-4, 6-diones (1)(Meldrum's acid derivatives) with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide gave 1-aryl (alkyl)-6, 6- dimethyl-4, 8-dioxo-5, 7-dioxaspiro [2.5] octanes (2) which, on treatment with sodium methoxide or ammonium hydroxide, gave exclusively E-1-methoxy-carboyl-2-aryl- cyclopropanecarboxylic acids (4) or Z-1-carbamoyl-2-aryl (alkyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic ...
