Description
α-Pyridone (2-Pyridone) is an antibacterial agent. α-Pyridone can be synthesized via the 1,4-addition of 2-(phenylsulfinyl)acetamide to α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by cyclization and sulfoxide elimination. α-Pyridone can also be used to synthesize a wide range of heterocyclic compounds[1][2]
