RESUMO
Lewis acid catalyzed addition of active methylene compounds to mucochloric acid (1) and mucobromic acid (2) affording Knoevenagel aldol adducts, gamma-substituted gamma-butenolides, has been explored. Catalytic efficiencies of various Lewis acids have been compared. Indium acetate (0.25-5 mol %) was found to be the most efficient catalyst.
