The reaction of a tautomeric mixture of 1-butyl-1,2-dihydroxy-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxopyridine-3-carbonitrile and its 2-hydroxy-6-oxo analog with phosphorus oxychloride gave 1-butyl-6-chloro-1,2-dihydro-4-methyl-2-oxopyridine-3-carbonitrile (68percent) and 1-butyl-2-chloro-1,6-dihydro-4-methyl-6-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (3percent).Both chloropyridones were converted to their corresponding aminopyridones by reaction with liquid ammonia.Strong support for the molecular structure of 6-amino-1-butyl-1,2-dihydro-4-methyl-2-oxopyridine-3-carbonitrile was obtained on the basis of nmr techniques.
