The straightforward construction of substituted pyrone 4 proceeded as follows (see Scheme 6c). Alkylation of the monoanion of 2,4-pentanedione (8) with methyl iodide furnishes 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione. Conversion of this substance into the corresponding dianion with sodium amide followed by selective carboxylation of the more basic site provides intermediate 7. Pyrone 4 is obtained after cyclization with l,l -carbonyldiimidazole and methylation of the resulting enol with dimethyl sulfate.

Many examples of 4- or 5-acetyl-1,2,3-triazoIes have been prepared and a number of methods developed. For example, the addition of phenyl azide to acetylphenylacetylene (Eq. 14) gives an excellent yield, and both isomeric products are obtained. The reaction of sodium azide with /3-acetylstyrylsulfones proceeds in good yield (Eq. 15). The diacetyl phenylhydrazone 5.1-12 is smoothly converted to a 1,2,3-triazole under novel conditions that deserve further exploration (Eq. 16). The heterocyclic azide 5.1-13 reacts with 2,4-pentanedione under basic conditions (. 17). The treatment of the amides 5.1-14 with a Grignard reagent produces...
