Synthesis, reactions and biological activity of 3-arylidene-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2(3H)-furanones

3-Arylidene-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2(3H)-furanones 2a–m were prepared from 3-(4-methyl-benzoyl)propanoic acid 1 and several aromatic aldehydes. Some of the selected furanones were reacted with ammonia gas and benzylamine to give corresponding 3-arylidene-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-pyrrol-2-ones 3...
