A convenient synthesis of 3-methyl-4-phenylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (4) is described.Reaction of 4 with 4-substituted thiosemicarbazides (6) gives thiosemicarbazones (7) some of which (7b, 7g, 7i and 7j) exhibit significant antitumor activity in animals.Thiosemicarbazides (6e - 6j) have been prepared from the corresponding isothiocyanates (5) (which result from sodium chlorite oxidation of the addition products of CS2 and the appropriate amine) and hydrazine.Isomerisation of 1,3-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (Δ4-isomer) to 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro analog (Δ3-isomer, 1) has been effected with refluxing conc.HCl.
