Addition reactions of heterocyclic compounds. Part XXVII. 2-Pyridones with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate
Abstract
A Michael reaction occurs between 2-pyridone and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, but 1-methyl-2-pyridone and the ester appear to give a Diels–Alder adduct which decomposes to N-methylphthalimide.
