Ketene S,S-acetal 2 reacts with 2-aminophenol to afford 2-(1-acetyl-2-oxopropylidene)benzoxazole (3) which was allowed to react with a variety of active methylenes having an α-cyano or α-keto group to give spiro[pyran-4,2′-benzoxazole] derivatives 5-12. Compound 3 also reacts with bromomalononitrile to afford spiro[3,3-diacetyl-2,2-dicyanocyclopropane-1,2′-benzoxazole] 13 through a nucleophilic addition and cyclization.
