Abstract: The reported structures of reaction products of enaminones with malononitrile in ethanolic piperidine are revised. A novel route to 2,3-dihydropyridazine-4-carboxylic acids 4a-c via reactions of 2-cyano-5-(dimethylamino)-5-arylpenta-2,4-dienamides 8a-c with nitrous acid or with benzenediazonium chloride is reported. Compounds 8a-c are converted to 1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid and 1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives upon reflux in EtOH/ HCl and in AcOH.
Keywords: Enaminones; 2-Cyano-5-(dimethylamino)-5-arylpenta-2; 4-dienamide; DEPT; Experiments; X-ray crystal structure
