N-Methylmorpholinium 1-Amino-2,4-dicyano-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-butadienethiolate (1) was
obtained by a modification of the procedure of [15]. N-Methylmorpholine (6.5 ml, 60 mmol) was added to a
suspension of the ethyl ester of E-2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylic acid [33] (10 g, 59 mmol) and cyanothioacetamide
[34] (5.9 g, 59 mmol) in EtOH (25 ml). The resulting dark-red solution was stirred for 5 h at ~20°C, left
overnight, then an equal volume of ether was added to the obtained suspension, and the mixture stirred for 1 h at
~20°C. The orange crystalline solid butadienethiolate 1 was filtered off, washed with cold EtOH, and with ether.

Pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazines 3a-e (General Method). A mixture of butadienethiolate 1 (1 g,
3.1 mmol), the appropriate amine 2a-e (3.1 mmol), and 37% HCHO (5 ml) in EtOH (15-20 ml) was brought to
boiling with stirring, and from the initially formed light-red solution a finely crystalline solid separated after
several seconds. The reaction mixture was boiled for 3 min further with vigorous stirring, the obtained
suspension was stirred for 2 h at ~20°C, the solid pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazine 3a-e was filtered off, and washed
with EtOH. For analytical purposes the product was recrystallized from a suitable solvent.
