Abstract
Ring closure reactions of 1,6-diamino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile with various 1,3-dielectrophiles, namely, diethyl malonate, ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate, 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylonitrile, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, dehydroacetic acid, chromone-3-carbonitrile, and 3-formylchromone led to the formation of the target biheterocyclic 1,2,4-triaze-pines. The reactions with 3-phenylazo-2,4-pentadione, ethyl α-cyano-α-phenylazoacetate, and 3,1-benz-oxazin-4-one derivative are also described.
