In this study, we describe a method using sulfoxonium ylides as carbene precursors to achieve C6-selective acylmethylation of pyridones catalyzed by a ruthenium(ii) complex. This approach featured mild reaction conditions, moderate to excellent yields, high step economy, and had excellent functional group tolerance with good site selectivity. Besides, gram-scale preparation, synthetic utility, and mechanistic studies were conducted. It offers a direct and efficient way to synthesize pyridone der ...[more]
