Synthesis of New Pyrano[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]Pyrazoles and Furochromones Derivatives Utilizing Amino Acids Derivatives

Hydrolysis of oxazolone derivatives (2b) yielded α-khellinoyl(amino)-cinnamic acid (3) as a good precursor to react with ethyl esters of glycine, L-methionine, and glycylglycine affording 4, 5, and 4, 5 respectively with minor product 7. Hydrolysis of oxazolone derivatives (2b) afforded α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives (DDAA) (8). Interaction of oxazolone derivatives (2a,b) with active methylene compounds as ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile, ethylcyanoacetate, and cyanoacetamide afforded 9–16 respectively
