Summary. Reaction of 1-(cyanoacetyl)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole with (E)-2-cyano-3-(het)arylprop-2-enethioamides was used for the synthesis of N-methylmorpholinium 3,5-dicyano-4-(het)aryl-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiolates for the first time. The latter were also obtained in a multicomponent one-pot mode via the condensation of cyanothioacetamide with corresponding aldehydes and above 1-cyanoacetylpyrazole in the presence of N-methylmorpholine under mild conditions. Thiolates 1 exist as a pair of cis/trans-diastereomers in different ratios (from 3:4 to 2:1). Last author was Deceased on February 26, 2007     

Synthesis of 1-(4-butoxyphenyl)-1-cyclohexyl-3-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-phenylpropan-1-ols and their dihydrochlorides

Aminomethylation of 1-(4-butoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanone with paraformaldehyde and substituted piperazines in ethanol medium results in 1-(4-butoxyphenyl)-3-(4-R-piperazin-1-yl)-2-phenylpropan-1-ones.

Reduction of the prepared β-aminoketones with lithium aluminum hydride in absolute diethyl ether leads to the secondary aminopropanols. The prepared compounds could be converted into the corresponding dihydrochlorides.
