Thermal isomerizations of various propargyl 3-acylpropiolates are described. Many result in the formation of 3-acylbutenolides. These reactions appear to proceed through intermediate 2,3-dehydropyrans (strained cyclic allenes), which then isomerize in a previously unobserved fashion. Competitive processes that provide additional mechanistic insights are also described. ...[more]
