This study discusses the synthesis and investigation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with a particular focus on cyclized quinolones. The aim of this study was to obtain quinolone lb via thermal condensation of 3-benzofuranone and anthranilic acid and to report the synthesis of substituted 2-benzoyl-3-hydroxy-benzo[b]thiophenes that can cyclize to form cyclized quinolones 7. This study aimed to explore the potential of heterocyclic ketones in the formation of cyclized quinolones, with oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur as heteroatoms instead of methylene groups. The key chemicals used in the process included 3-benzofuranone, anthranilic acid, N-methylanthranilic acid, 3-acetoxyindole, thioindoxyl, and various heterocyclic compounds. The conclusions drawn from the study indicated that the cyclization was mainly carried out via Schiff bases and that the synthesis of indoles and benzothieno[3,2-b]-quinolones could be similar to the synthesis of cyclized chromones from heterocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds. The study also highlights the potential pharmaceutical value of benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-chromones and benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-chromone-derived substances due to their antiallergic and antiallergic effects, as well as the discovery of O-ketoimidates and O-ketoamidines as new anti-inflammatory agents with no ulcerogenic effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa.
