| Abstract: | The condensation of acetaldehyde with cyanothioacetamide and ethyl benzoylacetate in the presence of N-methylmorpholine leads to the formation of 3-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methyl-6-phenylpyridine-2(1H)-thione. Alkylation of the last afforded the corresponding substituted 2-alkythiopyridines.T. G. Shevchenko Lugansk State Pedagogical Institute, Lugansk 348011, Ukraine. N. D.
