The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours. Then diketene (4.2 g, 50 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution. The reaction mixture was allowed to warmed to room temperature and continued to stir for 30 minutes. The mixture was neutralized with diluted hydrochloric acid, and then concentrated in vacuo to give crude 2-amino-6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-carbonitrile as red solid, which was used in the next step without further purification.
