The synthesis of methyl 3,6-dimethylpyridine-2-carboxylate (192) by the Diels-Alder addition of 3-butene-2-one dimethylhydrazone (190) and methyl-2-butynoate (16) is described. The structure of 192 was confirmed by the synthesis of methyl 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylate (195), the opposite regioisomer.The synthesis of methyl 3,5-dimethylpyridine-2-carboxylate (199) from [4+2] cycloaddition of 2-methyl-2-propenal dimethylhydrazone (171) and 16 is described. In addition to producing a small amount of 199 directly, the reaction produced an intermediate of possible structure 198 which yielded 199 on catalytic dehydrogenation.On prolonged heating, 2-acetyl-5-methylpyridine (200) was produced by the reaction of diene 171 with methyl vinyl ketone (176).The preparation of 2-cyan-5-methylpyridine (201) from the tetrahydropyridine derivative 175 via catalytic dehydrogenation is described.The synthesis of 5,7-dioxo-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,1.,5,6,7-pentahydropyrroloC3,1.-b] pyridine (202) through the Diels-Alder addition of diene 171 and N-phenylmaleimide (149) is described. Also reported is the preparation of 5,7-dioxo-3-methyl-6-phenyl-3,5,6-trihydropyrrolo [3,1+-b]pyridine (203) via dehydrogenation of 202. / Department of Chemistry
