Abstract

The Schmidt reaction of the 5-acyl-2H-pyran-2-ones (1a—f) using NaN3/H2SO4 was investigated. The reaction proceeded with complete regioselectivity in the 5-acetyl series to give the corresponding 5-acetylamino derivatives (2a—c) via pyran-2-one ring migration. In contrast, the reaction applied to the 5-benzoyl-2H-pyran-2-ones (1d—f) led to the formation of both regioisomers, (2d—f) and (3d—f). The latter resulted from the phenyl shift in this reaction and were obtained as minor products. The 3,5-diacylamino-2H-pyran-2-ones (2a) and (2d) were selectively debenzoylated at position 3.
