The Effect of Base and Nucleophile on the Nucleophilic Substitution of Methoxytropone Derivatives: An Easy Access to 4- and 5-Substituted Multifunctional Azulenes

Novel Cinnamic Acid Analogues: Synthesis of Aminotroponyl Acrylates by Pd(II)-Catalysed C(sp2)-H Olefination

Cinnamic acid, benzenoid scaffold, is a building block of various natural products. This report describes the synthesis of new non-benzenoid cinnamate analogs 3-(6-amino-7-oxocyclohepta-1,3,5-trien-1-yl)acrylates, obtained through Pd(II)-catalyzed C7-H olefination of 2-aminotropones...
