Abstract

The 13C NMR spectra of the pyridones 7a-d recorded in DMSO-d6 show three groups of signals which correspond to the two diastereomers of the 7-exo tautomer and the 7-endo tautomer. The X-ray powder analysis and the molecular structures of 7a-c clearly prove that these compounds, and probably 7d, are present in the solid state as a single diastereomer of the 7-exo tautomer which, on being dissolved, establishes an equilibrium with the other diastereomer through the 7-endo tautomer. This later had been proposed as a hey intermediate in the cyclization of the 1,5-dinitrile system present in 7a-d but was not previously detected.
