Dimethyl Acetylsuccinate was used in preparation of β-carbolines via diastereo- and enantioselective Bronsted acid catalyzed N-acyliminium cyclization cascades of tryptamines and keto acids/esters.
Dimethyl acetylsuccinate has been used in the synthesis of 2-oxofuro[2,3-b]pyrroles and 19-methyl-15-oxa-20-azatricyclo[12.3.3.0(1,14)]icos-18-en-18-carboxylates.
Dimethyl acetylsuccinate undergoes sulfuric acid catalyzed Pechmann condensation with the corresponding resorcinol derivative to give 7-hydroxycoumarins.
