A series of new 6-amino-4aryl-2’-[(4-Aminophenyl)thio]-2,4’-bipyridine-5-carbonitriles (3a-h) were synthesized from 4-aminothiophenol (1). The reaction of 4-aminothiophenol with 4-acetyl-2-chloropyridine yielded 1-{2-[(4-aminophenyl)thio]pyridin-4-yl}ethanone(2).Furthertreatment of  2 with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of alcoholic malanonitrile in ammonium acetate gave compounds (3a-h). T...

2-(2-Cyano-2-phenylethyl)aziridines were converted into novel cis- and trans-2-chloromethyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carbonitriles via alkylation with 1-bromo-2-chloroethane followed by microwave-assisted 6-exo-tet cyclization and regiospecific ring opening. The latter piperidines were used as eligible substrates for the synthesis of stereodefined 2-chloromethyl-, 2-hydroxymethyl-, and 2-carboxymet...

A new synthetic route leading to functionalized 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitriles has been developed. set of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitriles was obtained in high yields from readily available starting 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids via several protocols. Synthesized were examined as promising precursors the simple and efficient method for preparation 2-triazol-4-yl-thien...

Abstract 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) sodium salt reacts with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in aqueous ethanol to form 2-amino-4-aryl-5-hydroxy-6-(2-pyridylazo)-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitriles.

The thermolysis of several N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)pyridin-n-amines (where n = 2, 3 and 4) gives a mixture of thiazolopyridine-2-carbonitriles in low to moderate yields. Introduction, by design, of a chlorine substituent at the C2 or C4 position of N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)pyridin-3-amine and other selected azines enables a BnEt(3)NI mediated ANRORC style ring t...
