Abstract
Treatment of 2H‐3,1‐benzoxazine‐2,4(1H)‐dione (1a) with vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (2a) gives substituted benzoazepine 8a (48% yield) and indolizinone 12 (27% yield), whereas substituted quinolinone 15 and benzoazepine 8b were isolated from the reaction of N‐methylisatoic anhydride (1b) and 2a. Furthermore, a series of quinoline derivatives was synthesized from the reactions of 1a and 1b with allyl‐(2b), alkyl‐(2c), (2d), and cyanomethyl‐(3) triphenylphosphonium salts.
