Abstract

3-Cinnamoyltropolones (1a-k) reacted with malononitrile in methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide or methoxide to give 2-(4-aryl-3-cyano-2-methoxypyridin-6-yl)tropolones (2a-k) via Michael addition and cydization. The reactions in the presence of ethoxide or 1-propoxide afforded the corresponding 2-ethoxy- and 2-(l-propoxy)pyridine derivatives (3a,b), respecvely. 3-(3-Heterocycle-substituted 2-propenoyl)tropolones (6a-d) gave the pyridines (7a-d) having both tropolone and heteocyclic ring.
