Russ.Chem.Bull., Int.Ed., Vol. 64, No. 12, December, 2015 2867
The found by us thermal intermolecular selfꢀcondenꢀ
sation of arylchloropyruvates opens the access to 3,4ꢀdiꢀ
arylꢀ2ꢀoxoꢀ2,3ꢀdihydrofuranꢀ3,5ꢀdicarboxylic acid derivꢀ
atives without application of metal catalysts and other
expensive reagents.

Melting points were determined on Boetius heating stage.
IR spectra for all the compounds were recorded on a Bruker
Vectorꢀ22 Fourierꢀtransform spectrometer in KBr pellets. Elecꢀ
tron ionization mass spectra were obtained on a ThermoQuest/
Finnigan Trace MS quadrupole mass spectrometer, the samples
were injected through a system of direct injection with water
cooling; highꢀprecision mass spectra were obtained on a Finniꢀ

was solved by direct method using the SIR program and
refined by the fullꢀmatrix leastꢀsquares method using the
SHELXL97 program. . Hydrogen atoms were calculated geoꢀ
metrically and refined using a riding model. All the calculations
were carried out using the WinGX and APEX2 programs.
The final Rꢀfactor values: R 0.0748, wR 0.2284, GOOF = 1.01,
number of refined parameters 238. Crystallographic data for the
structure 1 were deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic
Data Center (http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk; CCDC 1407989).
