title: An efficient route to 3-aryl-substituted quinolin-2-one and 1,8-naphthyridin-2-one derivatives of pharmaceutical interest.
abstract: Reaction of arylacetic ester enolates with 2-alkoxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones offers a short and versatile synthetic route to 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones, through the cyclization of the beta-ketoesters produced. Similar reactions of 4H-pyrido[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-ones with ester enolates afford 1-acyl-4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones in a convenient two-step, one-pot procedure.
