title: A one-pot synthesis of pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones.
abstract: Pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones are conveniently prepared in excellent yields by a one-pot annulation of N-substituted-2-chloroacetamides with 2-halo-3-hydroxypyridines with use of cesium carbonate in refluxing acetonitrile. The key transformation features a Smiles rearrangement of the initial O-alkylation product and subsequent cyclization.
