Abstract
Reaction of malononitrile dimer (1) and the codimer from cyanoacetate and malononitrile (2) with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMFDMA) leads to the monocondensation products5 a, b. The isomeric codimer3, however, gives the amidine6. Ring closure reactions of5 a with ammonia and primary aliphatic and aromatic amines yield 2,4-diamino-3,5-pyridinedicarbonitriles7 a–j, in the case of5 b the 4-amino-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3,5-pyridinedicarbonitriles8 b–i. Reactions of1 and2 with an excess ofDMFDMA give the biscondensation products11 a, 11 b.11 b reacts with primary aromatic amines to give the pyridine derivatives13. The structure of13 was confirmed by hydrolytical cleavage to the dicyano-aminopyridone14. Treatment of13 with concentrated hydrochloric acid leads to the pyridopyrimidine derivatives15.
