Synthesis and reactions of 3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridone

摘要

Rapid synthesis of 3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridone 3, using piprazine as a catalyst was reported. X-ray data of the 4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine- 3-carbonitrile exhibited its oxo form. Synthesis of isoquinolinecarbonitrile and pyridylpyridazine using compound 3 was investigated. Reactivity of the synthesized pyridone toward different organic reagents was also studied.
