Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing compounds of general formula (I) wherein R is selected from the following groups: (a) OR and (b) mono-, di-, or tri-substituted phenyl; and R represents a group (C -C ) alkyl. The method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) reacting a compound of general formula (III) with an acid of general formula R CH COOH (III) in a water-free medium; b) reacting the resulting compound with a strong base in an aprotic solvent in order to obtain an intermediate cyclic compound which forms a compound of general formula (I) after dehydration; and c) isolating said resulting compound of general formula (I).
