Abstract

4-Quinolone and 4H-thiochromen-4-one derivatives are readily synthesized in a tandem one-pot manner in good to excellent yields. Starting from (Z)-β-chlorovinyl ketones, an intermolecular nucleo­philic addition of amines or sodium hydrogen sulfide to (Z)-β-chloro­vinyl ketones was followed by elimination of chlorine anion to give Z-enamine or thioenol intermediates, which can be transformed to 4-quinolone or 4H-thiochromen-4-one products through intramolecular SNAr reaction, respectively.
