A novel synthesis of 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrone from carbon dioxide and mesityl oxide in the presence of an ethylzinc carbamate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086224

The title synthesis, the first example of the CO₂ fixation by use of an α,β-unsaturated ketone, has been successfully carried out, most preferably in triethylamine or pyridine at 120-160°C in the presence of ethylzinc diphenylcarbamate.
