The resulting 1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones readily underwent the coupling reaction with various aldehydes to afford the corresponding 1,5-dihydro-5-methylene-2H-pyrrol-2-ones including pyrromethenone derivatives in good yields. A series of these reactions was successfully applied to the synthesis of C/D-rings component of phycocyanobilin.}, pages = {3320--3326}, title = {Regioselective Preparation of Diethyl 3,4-Disubstituted 1,5-Dihydro-5-oxo-2H-pyrrol-2-ylphosphonates and Their Coupling with Aldehydes.
