ALKYLIDENE AND ARYLIDENE MELDRUM'S ACIDS AS VERSATILE REAGENTS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLES

Abstract

Meldrum's acid and its derivatives are excellent building blocks for the synthesis of acyclic, carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds. Herein recent (mainly 2010–2015) trends on applications of arylidene/alkylidene Meldrum's acids (R¹, R² = H, Ar, Alk, –(CH₂)_n–) in the synthesis of heterocycles and multicomponent reactions (MCR) involving in situ formation of arylidene/alkylidene Meldrum's acids are focused.
