Ylides of Heterocycles, VIII. Reactions of Iodonium-Ylides with Acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00798414

The reaction of various organic and inorganic acids (HX) with iodonium ylides 2 leads to nucleophilic substitution of the iodobenzene substituent by the anion X(-) to yield the heterocycles 5.Some of them are hydrolyzed to the hydroxy compounds 3 or reduced to the starting compounds 1 under the reaction conditions.Reaction of the iodonium ylide 2b with monomethyl sulfate gives the salt 9, which with bases undergoes nucleophilic substitution to compounds 8 and 10-12, respectively, or is converted to 2b again. - Keywords: 3-Acetoxy-4-hydroxy-2-quinolones; 2-Oxoquinoline-4-olates; 3-Substituted 4-hydroxy-2-quinolones
