Abstract
The synthesis of a series of pyridones, from their 2-hydroxypyridine or 2-methoxypyridine precursors, is described, along with studies into their reductions to saturated heterocycles. A number of 5-acylpyridones were prepared and were evaluated as substrates for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation prior to conversion to saturated heterocycles. The enantioselective reduction of 5-acetyl-1-benzylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione is also described.
