Abstract
A series of 2,4-disubstituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-5-carboxaldehydes II-XIX was prepared by reaction of substituted arylmethylenemalonaldehydes I with 2-methylpropane, 1,1-diphenylethylene, styrene, ethyl vinyl ether, 1,1-dimethoxyethylene and 1,1-bis(methylthio)ethylene. In the case of the reaction with ethyl vinyl ether the dependence of the ratio of the arising cis- and trans- 2-ethoxy-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyran-5-carboxaldehydes VII-XIV on the substitutent on the aromatic nucleus was studied. Information on the mechanism of this reaction was obtained and conformational equilibria of 2-ethoxy-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyran-5-carboxaldehydes in solution were studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of trans-2-ethoxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydropyran-5-carboxaldehyde (trans-VIII) was confirmed by X-ray analysis of the corresponding carboxylic acid trans-XXII.
