• ; 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole; 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones; tetronic acid; Introduction 3-Hydroxypyran-4-one derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds widely represented in various naturally occurring sources [1][2][3][4]. Products of this type demonstrate a broad range of biological activity

• -hydroxypyran-4-ones these products are widely used in organic synthesis [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Among the diverse chemical transformations of allomaltol derivatives the recyclizations of the pyranone ring are of great interest. As a rule, such reactions are realized under action of nitrogen-containing

• -hydroxypyran-4-ones with hydrazine are known [30][31]. At the same time all considered recyclizations proceed under action of additional components and the intramolecular variant of this reaction is not described in the literature. It can be supposed that in the case of a substrate containing an allomaltol
