Synthesis of functionalized tetrahydropyridones by the tandem Knoevenagel—Michael—intramolecular ammonolysis—alkylation reaction.

The tandem Knoevenagel—Michael—intramolecular ammonolysis—alkylation reaction was used to synthesize functionalized tetrahydropyridones. The molecular and crystal structures of four pyridone derivatives were studied by X-ray diffraction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
