A microwave approach to the synthesis of certain 4-substituted phenyl-6-phenyl-3-cyano-2-pyridones

Abstract

A study of the synthesis of 4-substituted phenyl-6-phenyl-3-cyano-2-pyridones from 2-cyano-3-phenylsubstituted acrylates and acetophenone is presented. 2-Pyridones were obtained using conventional as well as microwave synthesis using solvent and solvent free reactions in domestic and lab microwave ovens. The structure of the obtained pyridones was confirmed by m.p., FT-IR, NMR and UV data. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 172013]
