| Abstract: | It has been shown that recyclization of 4-acylmethyl-3-azapyrylium salts under the influence of primary amines affords 4-( -hydrozystyryl)pyrimidinium salts, which, upon further heating with the amine, are recyclized to form 4-acylaminopyridinium salts. It has been established that nucleophilic attack of 6-acylmethyl-substituted 3-azapyrylium salts in aqueous NaOH solution leads to functionally substituted pyridines. By means of MNDO quantum-chemical calculations with an accounting for solvation effects, in a continuum model, it has been shown that two directions of nucleophilic attack of the azapyrylium ring — at positions 2 and 6 — are equally probable.Rostov State University.
