Comment on "an unexpected formation of the novel 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene skeleton during the reaction of furfurylamine with maleimides and their bioprospection using a zebrafish embryo model" by C. E. Puerto Galvis and V. V. Kouznetsov,: Org. Biomol. Chem., 2013, 11, 407

It has been proved that the reaction between furfuryl amines and N-R-maleimides leads to the formation of aza-Michael addition products-3-(furylmethylamino)-N-R-pyrrolidine-2,5-diones, instead of 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes, as this journal reported previously. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2017.
