    Abstract

    Formation of highly functionalized 5-amino-6-ethoxy-2-alkylpyrimidine-4-carbonitriles was shown to occur by simply refluxing (Z)-N-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanoethenyl)acetamide hydrochloride or (Z)-N-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanoethenyl)pentanamide hydrochloride in ethanol under acid catalysis conditions. In the absence of acidic catalysis the reaction of 2,3-diaminomaleonitrile with acetic anhydride in ethanol gave (Z)-N-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanoethenyl)acetamide.
