The nitrobenzylidenefurandiones 7 react with acetoacetic ester (8) and ammonium acetate or 3-aminocrotonic esters (9a, b) and 2-aminopent-2-en-4-on (9c), respectively heating in acetic acid to yield the tetrahydrofuro[3,4-b] pyridines 10. The dehydrogenation of 10 using nitric acid or activated manganese dioxide leads to the dihydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridines 12. When the reaction is carried out with the tetronic acid derivatives 7 and the enaminocarbonyl compounds 9 at 30°C in tert-butanol the hexahydro-7a-hydroxyfuro[3,4-b]pyridines 11 are obtained. Treating the N,O-acetales 11 with acetic anhydride in pyridine affords the annulated lactones 10.
