New Entries to 2(1H)-Quinolinones and 2H-1-Benzazepin-2-ones by Acid-Catalyzed Olefin Cyclization of N-[o-(Alk-1-enyl)phenyl]-2-(methylsulfinyl)acetamides
Treatment of N-[o-(alk-1-enyl)phenyl]-2-(methylsulfinyl)acetamides with trifluoroacetic anhydride gave 2(1H)-quinolinones or 2H-1-benzazepin-2-ones, depending upon the position of the substituents on the alkene double bond.
