Abstract
Reaction of furo[3,2-b]pyrroles and their benzo[b] analogues with dimethyl butynedioate and ethyl propyonate were investigated. The reaction course is influenced by substituents on the system. Products of [4 + 2] cycloaddition to the furan or pyrrole nucleus as well as products of Michael addition to the benzo[b]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole system have been found. The structure of the products has been proven by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
