RECENT ADVANCES IN THE SYNTHETIC APPROACHES TO 2-PYRIDONES

Abstract
This microreview focuses on the methodologies for the synthesis of 2-pyridones and their biological applications. Various types of synthetic methods reported in the last 6 years (starting from the year 2014 and onward) have been discussed. Functionalization reactions of 2-pyridones have not been taken into account.
Keywords
