Ethyl 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylates 2a-d and 1-alkyl-1,4-
dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles 2e,f were allowed to react with 2-nitr
ophenyl azide 3 to give tertiary amidines 4 by spontaneous rearrangeme
nt of the triazoline cycloadducts. Ready catalytic hydrogenation with
Pd-C of 4 gave the corresponding ethyl yl-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyri
dine-3-carboxylates 5a-d and l-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carb
onitriles 5e,f.
