Bismuth (III) acetate: A new catalyst for preparation of azlactones via the Erlenmeyer synthesis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008086926

Bismuth(III) acetate catalyzes the synthesis of azlactones from aromatic aldehydes in moderate to good yields via the Erlenmeyer synthesis. The relatively low toxicity and low cost of bismuth(III) acetate make this procedure particularly attractive.
