Regiospecific syntheses of glycocitrine-II and acronycine
Abstract
Regiospecific syntheses of glycocitrine-II and acronycine have been achieved from 3-acetyl-4-chloro-2-cyanomethylquinoline which, in turn, has been prepared by two different routes, from the aniline and anthranilic acid derivatives methyl 3-anilino-2-cyano-3-(methylthio)prop-2-enoate and methyl N-(1-methyl-3-oxobut-1-enyl)anthranilate.
