The invention relates to iron(III) complex compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them for the use as medicaments, in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of iron deficiency symptoms and iron deficiency anemias.

Thermal reaction of 2,2-dimethyl-2H,4H-1,3-dioxin-4-ones (1) with amines was studied.Acylketenes 2, generated by heating of 1, reacted with anilines and benzylamine to give the corresponding β-ketocarboxamides (3,4, and 5) in good yields.The reaction of 1 with ammonia gave 3-amino-2-alkenamides (7), which were hydrolyzed to β-ketocarboxamides (6).The former products 7 were readily transformed to the 6-substituted 2-methyl-3H-pyrimidin-4-ones (9) via the 3-acetamido-2-alkenamides (8).Acylation of O-benzylhydroxylamine with 1 gave the β-ketohydroxamic acids 10.Debenzylation of 10 followed by cyclization gave rise to 5-alkyl-3-hydroxyisoxazoles (12).The reaction of 1 with amides gave the corresponding N-acetylated amides (13).
