Title	Expedient One-Pot Synthesis of γ-Hydroxybutenolides Starting from Baylis-Hillman Adducts: Lactonization, Isomerization, and Aerobic Oxidation of α-Methylene-γ-hydroxyester

Keywords	Baylis-Hillman adducts, γ-Hydroxybutenolides, Hydroxylation, Lactones
Abstract	We developed an efficient three-step synthetic protocol of γ-hydroxybutenolides starting from the Baylis-Hillman adducts: (i) bromination, (ii) Barbier reaction and (iii) one-pot K2CO3-mediated synthesis of γ-hydroxybutenolides. In addition, we showed the synthetic applicability of butenolides including self-dimerization, conjugate addition reaction, and alkylations.
