An efficient method for the one-pot synthesis of tetramic acid derivatives was developed utilizing tandem umpolung N-alkylation/reduction/cyclization of γ-hydrazono β-ketoester. By using this reaction as a key step, the total synthesis of the 3-spiro 7-hydroxamic acid tetralin which possesses an HDAC inhibitory activity was also achieved.
