N-nucleophile

Currently, the synthesis of oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds containing a fused benzene ring system with a pyrone cycle, represented by 4-hydroxycoumarin (4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one), is of great importance due to their broad spectrum of biological activity. We found it interesting to conduct reactions of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds based on 4-hydroxycoumarin with N-nucleophiles, both from a fundamental point of view and from the perspective of the practical application of the resulting products.

2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Meldrum acid, isopropylidenmalonate) is widely used by synthetic chemists due to its structural features. The dual nature of the reactivity of Meldrum acid (both electrophilic and/or nucleophilic reagent) determines the synthetic value in the construction of new heterocyclic systems with practically signifi cant properties. A wide range of biological activity has been revealed in a number of compounds containing a 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione fragment in their structure.
