An examination of the reaction mechanism indicated that the extension from 2-pyridone to quinolinone was likely facilitated through a series of sequential C—H activation reactions or 6π electrocyclization, culminating in dehydrogenative aromatization. This method of diversity-oriented synthesis of quinolinone derivatives is characterized by a broad substrate scope, atom economy, and excellent chemical selectivity. In addition, these quinolinone derivatives exhibit fluorescent absorption within the visible-light spectrum, which makes them suitable candidates for the development of innovative fluorescent probes.展开更多
