TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Werner, Frank A1 - Kelling, Alexandra A1 - Schilde, Uwe T1 - The reaction of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran with oxalyl chloride : formation and crystal structure analysis of an unexpected bicyclic product N2 - 3,4-Dihydro-2-H-pyran and oxalyl chloride react, depending on the conditions, to keto esters, a pyran-3- carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof, or to an hitherto unknown bicyclic acetal containing a vinyl chloride moiety. The structure of the latter product has been unambiguously elucidated by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. A mechanism for its formation is proposed.
