Abstract

A series of novel bicyclic pyridones were easily prepared by cyclic condensation of heterocyclic ketene aminals with β-keto ester enol tosylates in the presence of a base to give products in excellent yields (80-95%).

General Procedure for the Cyclocondensation Reaction
A 50 mL round-bottom flask was charged with β-keto ester enol tosylates 2 (1 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (10 mL), and Et3N (3 mL), then the solution was added to HKA 1 (1 mmol), and the solution was refluxed. The resulting solution was stirred for 3-14 h until the β-keto ester enol toslates 2 were completely consumed. The mixture was quenched by the addition of H2O (50 mL). The reaction mixture was filtered off, and the residue was washed with H2O to give a crude product that was recrystallized by EtOH or acetone to form the final products 4-6.
