Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial activities, anticancer of some new pyridines from 2, 3-dihydro-2-oxo-4-phenyl-6-(thien-2-yl) pyridine-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

2,3-Dihydro-2-oxo-4-phenyl-6-(thien-2-yl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (4) was synthesized via reaction of four compounds (benzaldehyde, 2-acetylthiophene, ethyl cyanoacetate and ammonium acetate) in one step reaction. 2-((Hydrazinocarbonyl)methyloxy)-4-phenyl-6-(2-thienyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile was obtained by reaction of 5 with hydrazine hydrate. Schiff’s bases, pyrazole derivatives, urea derivatives, and carbamates were also synthesized. Based on the spectral facts and elemental analysis, structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated. Also, the new compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antitumor activities.
