Abstract

3-(4-Aryloxybut-2-ynyloxy)-1-methylquinolin-2-ones (3), in refluxing chlorobenzene, gave 1-aryloxymethyl-6-methyl-3H-pyrano[2,3-c]quinolin-5(6H)-ones (4) and/or, 1-aryloxymethyl-2,5-dimethylfuro[2,3-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones (5). The base or the radical initiator (azoisobutyronitirle) does not seem to have any effect on the formation of the products. Substrates (3) provided only products (5) in the presence of toluene-4-sulphonic acid. All the substrates (3) studied so far underwent sigmatropic rearrangements at the 4-quinolin-3-ynyoloxypropynyl function of compound (3) to give products (4) and/or (5).
