Abstract

1-Methyl-3, 6, 8-trinitro-2-quinolone was found to be a suitable substrate for electrophilic arylation on benzene rings leading to (1, 2-dihydro-4-quinolyl) phenols. The resultant products constitute a new family of 1-methyl-2-quinolones, which is often found in biologically active compounds as a partial structure.
