Synthesis and Structure of 2-Amino-1-benzyl-4-methylthio-6-oxo- N-phenyl-5-cyano-1,6-dihydropyridin-3-ylcarboxamide.

Abstract

Reaction of 3,3-bis(methylthio)-2-cyano-N-phenylacrylamide with N-benzyl-2-cyanoacetamide proceeds regiospecifically to give 2-amino-1-benzyl-4-methylthio-6-oxo-N-phenyl-5-cyano-1,6-dihydropyridin-3- ylcarboxamide. The structure of the latter was studied by means of X-ray analysis method.
