A facile synthesis of Pechmann dyes has been accomplished by the reaction of substituted N-phenacyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium halides with dimethyl maleate in the presence of DBU. Based on a related 4-DMAP elimination product and an isolated monolactone intermediate a reaction mechanism has been proposed. The scope of this synthetic method is determined by the availability of α-haloaroyl or heteroaroyl derivatives. DBU=1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene, DMAP=4-dimethylaminopyridine.
