Abstract

Reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, followed by cyanothioacetamide or cyanoacetamide and sodium hydride, then acidification, give 5,6-disubstituted 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones or 5,6-disubstituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones 4. Analogous reactions with the malono-nitrile dimer give 5,6-disubstituted 3-cyano-2-(dicyanomethylene)-1,2-dihydropyridines 9.
