Abstract
Reactions of 3-hydroxyalkan-2-ones with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes under basic conditions lead to 4-aryl-1,7-dihydroxyalkane-2,6-diones. These products were also synthesized by dismutation of 4-aryl-1-hydroxyalk-3-ene-2-ones. The reactions proceed as tandem retro aldol reactions and the Michael addition.
