Ev. Stoyanov et Ic. Ivanov, SYNTHESIS OF SOME SUBSTITUTED 2H-PYRANO[3,2-C]PYRIDINE-2,5(6H)-DIONES- REACTION OF THEIR 3-ACETYL DERIVATIVES WITH METHYL 3-AMINO-2-BUTENOATE, Synthetic communications, 28(10), 1998, pp. 1755-1767
Formylation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridones and subsequent cycli
zation with a Wittig reagent or with CH-acidic esters gave a series of
title compounds. The same starting pyridones reacted with methyl 3-am
ino-2-butenoate directly to the corresponding 4,7-dimethylpyrano[3,2-c
]pyridines.
