Abstract

4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives have attracted much attention due to their biological benefits, but up to now harsh reactions conditions must be employed to provide these key compounds. Various o-alkynylanilines can be converted under mild reaction conditions to 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives in high yield in the presence of a catalytic amount of a silver salt, carbon dioxide and a base.
