Abstract
The acid-catalyzed Nazarov reaction of easily accessible β-alkoxy divinyl ketones provides 5-oxycyclopent-2-enones. The effects of the β-alkoxy group on the catalyst efficiency and the regioselectivity are based on the stabilization of the intermediates and the spontaneous elimination of the group followed by trapping.
