Abstract: A process for the preparation of a 1,8-bridged 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid of the formula ##STR1## comprising in a first reaction step reacting an enamine of the formula ##STR2## in an anhydrous, aprotic solvent with one equivalent of a base, at a temperature from 80.degree. C. to 180.degree. C., to give a 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid derivative of the formula ##STR3## and, in a second reaction step, reacting that with another equivalent of a base, to give the 1,8-bridged 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid derivative of the formula (I) and optionally converting the group Y into a carboxyl group or salt thereof. Both steps may be effected simultaneously in a one-pot process without intermediate isolation of the compound II. Some of the compounds are new. The old and new compounds are antibacterials and promote animal growth.
