Decyclization of 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones by the action of nucleophiles

Ring cleavage in 4-methyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione by the action of methanol and in 5-aryl-4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones by the action of aniline and N-methylaniline results in formation of, respectively, methyl 3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,4-dio
