The preparation of 4-oxo-N-aryl-4H-1-benzopyran-2-acetamides by the condensation/cyclization of trilithiated acetoacetanilides with lithiated methyl salicylates
Dr. Hurst et al., The preparation of 4-oxo-N-aryl-4H-1-benzopyran-2-acetamides by the condensation/cyclization of trilithiated acetoacetanilides with lithiated methyl salicylates, J HETERO CH, 35(6), 1998, pp. 1357-1359
Several acetoacetanilides were trilithiated in excess lithium diisopropylam
ide, and the resulting polylithiated intermediates were regioselectively co
ndensed with lithiated methyl salicylates followed by acid cyclization to s
ubstituted 4-oxo-N-aryl-4H-1-benzopyran-2-acetamide (benzopyranone-2-acetam
ides).
