Abstract
Cyclic anhydrides are versatile synthons and functional comonomers. Herein we reported an organic base-promoted carboxylative cyclization of 2-butenoates with carbon dioxide to produce important glutaconic anhydrides in good yields. This metal-free reaction showed broad substrate scopes and proceeded under mild reaction conditions.
