XI.
N-Methylmorpholine
(1.1 ml) was added to a suspension of 1.0 g of cyano-
thioacetamide II in 15 ml of ethanol at 20 C. The
mixture was stirred for 8 min until a homogeneous
solution formed. Then 1.08 ml of isovaleric aldehyde
I was added, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min.
After that, 1.45 g of VIII was added, and the mixture
was stirred for an additional 30 min. After standing
for a day, the mixture was diluted with 10% HCl and
left for 48 h at room temperature. The precipitate of
pyridinethione XI (Tables 1, 2) was separated and
washed with water, ethanol, and hexane. Mass spec-

2-Amino-7-hydroxy-4-isobutyl-4H-chromene-3-
carbonitrile XXVII. To a solution of 1.08 ml of iso-
valeric aldehyde I in 15 ml of ethanol, we added
0.66 g of malononitrile XIX and three drops of
N-methylmorpholine; the mixture was stirred for
10 min. Then 1.10 g of resorcinol XXII was added,
and the mixture was stirred for 30 min and left at
room temperature. In 3 days, colorless crystals of
XXVII (Tables 1, 2) formed, which were filtered off
and washed with ethanol and hexane.
Ethyl 6-amino-4-isobutyl-2-phenyl-5-cyano-4H-
pyran-3-carboxylate XXVIII was prepared similarly
to XXVII, with ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate
XXIII used instead of resorcinol XXII. The charac-
teristics of XXVIII are given in Tables 1 and 2. Mass
spectrum, m/z (Irel, %): 326 (4) [M]+, 271 (18), 269

4-Isobutyl-6-phenyl-2-(Z-methylsulfanyl)pyridi-
ne-3,5-dicarbonitriles XIIIa and XIIIb. To a solu-
tion of 2.93 g of pyridinethione XI in 8 ml of DMF,
we added successively 5.6 ml of 10% aqueous KOH
and 100 ml of appropriate halide XII. The mixture
was stirred for 30 min and diluted with an equal
volume of water. The precipitate of XIIIa or XIIIb
(Tables 1, 2) was separated and washed with water,
ethanol, and hexane.
1-Amino-5-isobutyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexadi-
ene-2,6,6-tricarbonitrile XXXI. A mixture of 1.08 ml
of isovaleric aldehyde I, 0.66 g of malononitrile XIX,
and three drops of N-methylmorpholine in 15 ml of
ethanol was stirred for 1 h and allowed to stand for
a day. A colorless crystalline precipitate of XXXI
(Tables 1, 2) formed, which was separated and washed
with ethanol and hexane. Mass spectrum, m/z (Irel,
%): 270 (8) [M + 2]+, 269 (22) [M + 1]+, 268 (87)

3-Amino-4-isopropyl-6-phenyl-2-(4-chlorophe-
nylbenzoyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carbonitrile
XIV. To a solution of 4.46 g of XIIIa in 15 ml of
DMF, we added with stirring 5.6 ml of 10% aqueous
KOH. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and then grad-
ually diluted with an equal volume of water. The
precipitate of XIV (Tables 1, 2) was filtered off and
washed with water, ethanol, and hexane.
2-Amino-4-isobutyl-5-oxo-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]-
chromene-3-carbonitrile XX. a. A 0.87-ml portion
of morpholine was added with stirring at 20 C to a
mixture of 1.08 ml of isovaleric aldehyde I and 1.0 g
of cyanothioacetamide II in 15 ml of ethanol. The
mixture was stirred for 5 min, after which 1.62 g of
4-hydroxycoumarin was added, and the mixture was
stirred for 15 min and allowed to stand for a day. The
finely crystalline colorless precipitate of XX was
filtered off and washed with ethanol and hexane.
Yield 74%. As judged from the melting point, chro-
3-Isobutyl-2,4-di(morpholinocarbonyl)pentano-
dinitrile XXXIV. A mixture of 1.08 ml of isovaleric
aldehyde I, 3.08 g of 3-morpholino-3-oxopropano-
nitrile XXXII, and three drops of morpholine in 15 ml
of ethanol was stirred for 25 min at room temperature
to obtain a homogeneous solution. The mixture was
allowed to stand at room temperature for 48 h. The
precipitate was filtered off and washed with ethanol
and hexane. Compound XXXIV (Tables 1, 2) was
thus obtained as a colorless powder. Mass spectrum,
