Abstract: | By condensation of the anilide of acetoacetic acid, propionaldehyde, and cyanothioacetamide, 6-methyl-5-phenylcarbamoyl-3-cyano-4-ethylpyridine-2(IH)thione has been obtained. In an alkaline medium, this compound is alkylated, forming the corresponding substituted 2-pyridyl sulfides. From these pyridines, substituted thienoj2,3-blpyridines have been synthesized through the Thorpe-Ziegler reaction.T. G. Shevchenko Lugansk Pedagogical Institute, Lugansk 348011. N. D.
