Reaction Steps

To a solution of pentane-2,4-dione (100 g, 1.0 mol) in H2O (2 L) were added 2-cyanoacetamide (84 g, 1.0 mol) and K2CO3 (13.8 g, 0.1 mol). Then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction solution was filtrated to give crude product. The crude was washed with water and concentrated to give 4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (138 g, 93%).
