A novel one-step synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 8 from alpha-be
nzoylcinnamonitriles and 2'-acetyl-2-cyanoacetohydrazide 2 is describe
d. The X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the presence of the en
ol tautomer and the existence of a strong network of hydrogen bonds. T
he use of 2-ethoxycarbonylacetohydrazide derivatives 12 as starting ma
terials led only to the intermediate dihydro-2-pyridones 13. 2-Cyanoac
etohydrazide 11 led to the novel triazolo[1,5-a]pyridinones 15.
