Introduction

Enaminone derivatives are highly reactive intermediates extensively used for synthesis of otherwise not readily obtainable, heterocyclic compounds [1-4] and it can be used as starting material for the preparations of N-1 and /or N-2 substituted pyrazoles [29-31]. On the other hand a great deal of interest has been focused on the synthesis of the functionalized pyridine derivative owing to their biological activities [5-8].

In view of these observations and in continuation of our previous work directed towards development synthetic approach for the construction of biologically active heterocycles[9-12], we report herein a facile rout to various pyrazoles , isoxazoles, pyrimidines, pyrazolopyrimidine and triazolopyrimidine incorporated into pyridine moieties at position 2 and 6.

In this manner we have found that 2, 6-Bis [3-oxo-3-propanenitrile-2-(N, N-dimethyl amino) methylene] pyridine (3) is an excellent bulding blook for the synthesis of the entiled objectives

Results and discussion

Treatment of 2,6-Bis(3-oxo-3-propanenitrile) pyridine(2) with dimethyl formamide – dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) in dry THF at room temperature afforded a yellow crystalline product identified as 6-bis [3-oxo-3-propanenitrile-2-(N, N-dimethyl amino) methylene] pyridine (3)(scheme 1).

Scheme 1

The reactivity of the enaminonitrile 3 towards some nitrogen nucleophiles was investigated. Thus, treatment of compound 3 with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing ethanol, afforded a colourless prouduct for which three possible structures 4a, 5a and 6a can be formulated. The spectral data of the isolated product was in complete agreement with structure 4a. Similarly, compound 3 reacted with phenyl hydrazine in refluxing ethanol in the presen...
