Abstract

β-Lactam-synthon-interceded synthesis of 3-(but-2-enylidene)quinolin-4(3H)-ones has been described via triflic acid mediated Fries rearrangement of 3-butadienyl-2-azetidinones. The described protocol provides a direct access to C-3 functionalized quinolin-4(3H)-ones and does not suffer from the disadvantages ­associated with conventional routes.
