“…In continuation of our interest in synthesis and studying the reaction behavior of benzoxazinones and quinazolinones [16][17][18][19][20] we reported herein the behaviour of the benzoxazinone derivative, 3, with some active methylene compounds as carbone nucleophile, so the benzoxazinone derivative, 3, was reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate and/or malononitrile in pyridine to give 2-(2-(anthracen-9-yl)-1-benzamidovinyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid, 6, via ring opening and ring closure of the benoxazinone derivative, 3, followed by hydrolysis of the cyano or the ethylester group to the carboxylic group. The structure of compound 6 was confirmed from the 1 H NMR spectrum showing the δ value at 12.48 ppm for singlet, one proton, corresponding to the carboxylic hydrogen and disappeared by D2O, hydrazinolysis of compound 3 in boiling ethanol afforded the triazinoquinqzolinone derivative, 7, according to the following mechanism (Scheme 3).…”
