Synthesis of Some New 2(1H)-Pyridones from 3-Amino-3-(dialkylamino)propenenitriles

Abstract
3-Amino-3-(dialkylamino)propenenitriles were reacted with acetylenecarboxylates to give 2(1H)-pyridone derivatives. The reaction with ethyl propynate afforded dienamino ester intermediates which cyclized in sodium ethoxide/ethanol to 5-cyano-2(1H)-pyridone. The reaction with diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate gave directly the 2(1H)-pyridone derivatives.
