Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-ones and 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones occurred in moderate to fair yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution, cyclo-addition led directly to 6-alkyl-4-dialkylamino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones only for N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones.

7-Substituted 4-hydroxycoumarins (2a-e) and 4-hydroxy-2-quinolones (2f-i) have been synthesized from the appropriate phenols or anilines and were converted to the enamines 3 using triethoxymethane and aniline. Condensation of 3 with nitriles 4a-h gave substituted 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]benzopyran-2,5-diones (5a-r) or 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-2,5-diones (5s-x) , which exhibit both spontaneous and stimulated fluorescence with maxima between 418 and 549 nm. The marked influence of an electron withdrawing 3-substituent in 5 is demonstrated by the fluorescence spectra of 7a,b (synthesized from 2d,e and ethyl 3-oxobutyrate), whose maxima are sharply shifted to the blue as compared with compounds 21-r.

In the case of partial or full aromatic N-substitution, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones were instead obtained, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones.
