Abstract
Zwitterionic catalysts promote the formation of halogenated γ-butenolides from cyclopropene carboxylic acids in the presence of N-haloamides as the halogen sources. The catalytic protocol could also be applied to the synthesis of halogenated pyrrolones by using cyclopropene amides as the starting materials.
