Mr. Selim et al., MICHAEL CONDENSATION OF ETHYL-3(H)-OXONAPHTHO(2,1-B)PYRAN-2-CARBOXYLATE WITH KETONES, Heterocyclic communications, 2(6), 1996, pp. 581-585
Condensation of ethyl 3(H)-oxonaphtho (2,1-b) pyran-2-carboxylate (1)
with ketones in the presence of ammonium acetate or amines:at room tem
perature gave the corresponding naphthoxazocine carboxylates (2) via a
Micheal addition. While condensation of (1) with ketones in a sealed
tube at 170 degrees C in the presence of ammonium acetate or aromatic
amines gave 1,3-disubstituted-2-methyl-4a, 12b-dihydro-4H[1H]naphtho (
2,1-b) pyrano [3,4-c] pyridine-4,5 (3H)-dione (4). The structure assig
ned are supported by H-1-NMR, IR spectra and microanalyses.
