2-N,N-Dialkylamino-3-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)pyridines react thermally in polar solvents via [1,5] hydrogen transfer followed by carbon-carbon bond formation to yield heterotricyclic compounds containing the [1,8]naphthyridine group. The reaction time is markedly dependent on the solvent used and the stereoelectronic effects of the amino moiety. The presence of thiazolidinyl group results in the thermal isomerization taking place regiospecifically.
