The Nucleophilic Reaction upon Electron-Deficient Pyridone Derivatives. VIII. Novel Fragmentation of 3,5-Dinitro-2-pyridone by Primary Amine

Abstract
Fragmentation of 3,5-dinitro-2-pyridone (1) by primary amine gave nitroacetamide (2) and nitromalonaldehyde diimine. In the case of N-methyl derivative (1c), the reaction was completely suppressed by the product 2 to give an anionic σ-adduct of 1c with 2. The mechanism of the reaction was discussed.
