Reinvestigation of the Reaction of Arylidene Malononitrile with Cyanothioacetamide: New Approach for the Synthesis of Pyridine Derivatives

Research Abstract

Arylidene malononitrile reacted with cyanothioacetamide under basic condition to afford
the pyridine derivative (2). The same product was obtained from the reaction o f arylidene
ethylcyanoacetate, arylidene diethyl malonate, arylidene pyrazolinone with cyanothioacetam ide
under the same condition. A resonable mechanism for this behaviour was suggested.
