Pyridine ring, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro 3- amino

Another quite common reaction involving nucleophilic attack at a carbon atom of the ring is the hydrolysis of hexahydro-oxazolo[3,4- ]pyridines and tetrahydro-oxazolo[3,4-tf]pyridin-l-ones. This reaction has been known for years and is best performed under acidic conditions, respectively, producing 2-hydroxymethyl-piperidines or pipe-colic acid derivatives in good yields representative examples are collected in Table 9. Ammoniolysis of tetrahydro-oxazolo[3,4-tf]pyridin-l -ones with amino acid derivatives has also been reported and produces substituted pipecolic acid amides in good yields <2003H(61)259>. 

The acetic anhydride-induced cyclodehydration of the symmetrical diamide 411, derived from the tetrahydro-benzothiophene / -amino ester 410 and diethyl malonate, afforded the thieno[2,3-r7 [h3]oxazine derivative 413 rather than the expected bis-oxazine 412 (Scheme 78). The reaction probably takes place through sequential cyclizations, in which the pyridine ring of 413 is produced by condensation of the exocyclic double bond of the enamine tautomeric form of the 1,3-oxazine moiety and the mixed anhydride formed by the carboxylic group and acetic anhydride <2003PS245>. 

The cycloadducts formed from the Diels-Alder reaction of 3-amino-5-chloro-2(17/)-pyrazinones with methyl acrylate in toluene are subject to two alternative modes of ring transformation yielding either methyl 6-cyano-l,2-dihydro-2-oxo-4-pyridinecarboxylates or the corresponding 3-amino-6-cyano-l,2,5,6-tetrahydro-2-oxo-4-pyridinecarboxylates. From the latter compounds, 3-amino-2-pyridones can be generated through subsequent loss of HCN <96 JOC(61)304>. Synthesis of 3-spirocyclopropane-4-pyridone and furo[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives can be achieved by the thermal rearrangement of nitrone and nitrile oxide cycloadducts of bicyclopropylidene <96JCX (61)1665>.
