Org Lett. 2008 Jan 17;10(2):345-8. doi: 10.1021/ol702846t. Epub 2007 Dec 28.

Abstract

A facile and efficient one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted pyridin-2(1H)-ones from a variety of beta-oxo amides under Vilsmeier conditions is described, and a mechanism involving sequential halogenation, formylation and intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization is proposed.
