Synthesis of novel 3-acyloxy-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones and isomeric 4-acyl-1,4-dihydro-3,1-benzoxazin-2-ones: Double rearrangement of 3-hydroxyquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones
A. Klasek et al., Synthesis of novel 3-acyloxy-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones and isomeric 4-acyl-1,4-dihydro-3,1-benzoxazin-2-ones: Double rearrangement of 3-hydroxyquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, TETRAHEDRON, 56(11), 2000, pp. 1551-1560
Substituted 3-hydroxyquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones 3 were transformed into 3-
acyloxy-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones 4 and isomeric 4-acyl-1,4-dihydro-3,1-b
enzoxazin-2-ones 5. The influence of the substituents and the reaction cond
itions on the course of the reaction was studied. In the proposed mechanism
a double rearrangement takes place; alpha-ketol rearrangement of 3, leadin
g to alpha-hydroxy-beta-diketone intermediate 8, is followed by a rearrange
ment to the isomeric alpha-ketol-esters 4 and 5. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
