Abstract
A reaction of alkyl bromoacetates with substituted 3-cyano-2-methylthiopyridines in the presence of zinc dust furnishes 3-amino-3-(2-methylthiopyridin-3-yl)propenoic esters. Their hydrolysis under mild conditions leads to 3-(2-methylthiopyridin-3-yl)-3-oxopropionic esters. The latter were used in the synthesis of pyridine-substituted pyrazolones.
