Synthesis of Diethyl 6-Amino-1-aryl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-carboxylate

It was found that the reaction of malonic acid N-arylamidoesters with ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate in ethanol in the presence of equimolar amounts of triethylamine both at room temperature and under reflux leads to the formation of previously unknown diethyl 6-amino-1-aryl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-carboxylates with yields of 40–70%. Structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy data. Antibacterial activity of some of the obtained compounds was studied.
