General description

2-Pyridylacetonitrile undergoes coupling with aromatic diazonium salts to yield arylhydrazones. It also undergoes condensation with active malonic esters to yield 1-cyano-3-substituted 2-hydroxyquinolizin-4-ones. Acylation reaction of 2-pyridylacetonitrile with hot acetic anhydride has been reported.

Active malonic esters condense with 2-pyridylacetonitrile giving 1-cyano-3-substituted 2-hydroxyquinolizin-4-ones. Catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting products led to the corresponding 1-cyano-3-substituted-2-hydroxy-6.7.8.9-tetrahydroquinolizin-4-ones. On the other hand, condensation of the active malonic esters with beta-aminocrotononitrile afforded 5-cyano-3-substituted-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine-2-ones. The IR and NMR data are

2-Pyridylacetonitrile (1) couples with aromatic diazonium salts to yield arylhydrazones 2a-c, that were shown to exist in the syn-form 2 rather than the anti-form 4. Compounds 2a,c reacted with hydroxylamine in refluxing DMF to yield the interesting 1,2,3-triazolylpyridines 6. Attempts
