2-Quinolone is an organic compound related structurally to quinoline. It is the majority tautomer in equilibrium with 2-quinolinol. The compound can be classified as a cyclic amide, and as such is used as an isostere for peptides and other pharmaceutically inspired targets.[1][2] The 4-methyl-2-quinolone can be prepared by dehydration of acetoacetanilide.[3]
