Reaction Steps

The starting materials of formula II above used herein are generally prepared by reaction of 3,5-diacetyl-4,6-dihydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one with the appropriate amine (RNH2). The reactants are usually heated at reflux in an inert organic solvent such as benzene, toluene or methanol for from two to twelve hours. 3,5-Diacetyl-4,6-dihydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one is obtained by reaction of acetonedicarboxylic acid and acetic anhydride in sulfuric acid at elevated temperature.
