Synthesis and phytotoxic activity of new pyridones derived from 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one.

Commercial dehydroacetic acid was converted into 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (3), which was then condensed with several aliphatic aldehydes to produce seven new title compounds in variable yields (35-92%).
