Synthesis of Alkyl 5,6-Dialkyl-2-amino-3-cyanopyridine-4-carboxylates
An unusual route has been found for the hydrolysis of 3-amino-1,1-dialkoxy-6,7-dialkyl-4-aryl-3a,4,5,7a-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3a,7a-dicarbonitriles in acidic medium which leads to the formation of alkyl 5,6-dialkyl-2-amino-3-cyanopyridine-4-carboxylates.
