Synthesis and Reactivity Profile of Ylidenemalononitrile Enamines and Their Ester Analogs Towards Electrophiles and Nucleophiles.

Herein, we describe the synthesis and reactivity of enamines derived from ylidenemalononitriles and ylidenecyanoacetates. The enamine scope was expanded by (1) increasing yields of aldehyde-derived ylidenemalononitriles, (2) incorporating silyl functionalities, and (3) using other amide acetals to expand the substitution patterns of pyridines resulting from enamine cyclization. In addition, methods to produce α-pyrones and polysubstituted pyridines from both ylidenemalononitriles and ylidenecyanoacetates are described.
