Abstract The reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4H-3, 1-benzoxazin-4-one with malononitrile in dry pyridine leads to 1-hydroxy-3, 6-dioxo-4, 6-dihydro-3H-pyrimido [1, 2-a] quinoline-5-carbonitrile. Acetoacetic and cyanoacetic esters under analogous conditions form anilides of 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1, 2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid while diethyl malonate gives N, N′-di-2-carboxyanilides of malonic acid.
