The synthesis of novel 6-ethyl-4,5-dioxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-3-carboxaldehyde is described via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction of 3-acetyl-1-ethyl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one. The reaction of titled aldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, under different conditions, revealed its distinctive chemical behavior and a variety of products were obtained. This study revealed existence of ring-opening ring-closure (RORC) on treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in both acetic acid and/or ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The structure of the new products was deduced on basis of their analytical and spectral data.
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.
