The condensation of Meldrum's acid, aromatic aldehydes, alkyl acetoacetates and ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid under ultrasound irradiation at room temperature results in the formation of 3,4-dihydropyridone derivatives (4a-p) in 85-96% yields. Compared with conventional methods, the main advantages of the present procedure are milder conditions, shorter reaction times and higher yields.
A series of isoxazolo [5,4-b]pyridin-6(7H)-ones (8) have been prepared with a high stereochemical control from the novel 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridones (7) by reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and subsequent 5-endo-trig cyclization. A structural study by X-ray analyses and theoretical
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
