Abstract
Abstract 4-Hydroxy-2-pyridones are embedded as common structural units of many natural products, which exhibited good or excellent biological activities such as antifungal, antibacterial, and cytototoxic activity and so on. The class of compounds has stimulated a great deal of interest on synthetic chemists due to their structural novelty, molecular diversity, and promising biological activities. In this paper, the recent progress in the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2-pyridones has been reviewed.
