Z-AMINO-1,2,3,4-!CSTRARYDROPYRIDJS G. Fraenkel, J. Foos, C. C. Ho, Y. Liang, S.Q.A. Rizvi, H. Stucki, and F. Steel. Department of Chemistry, Ihe Ohio State University, 140 W. 18th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210, U.S.A. (Received in USA 13 September 1977; received in UK for publication 5 December 1977) The traditional route to 1,4_dihydropyridinesand then to pyridines has been condensation of suitably substituted glutaraldehydeswith some amine function.1-3

Now we wish to report that together with the expected 1,4_dihydropyridinesthis reaction sequence also gives 2-amino-1,2,3,4_tetrahydropyridines,

the result of two molecules of ammonia reacting with one of glutaraldehyde. While observable in solution by nmr, these materials were too unstable to purify. They were isolated as the corresponding diurethanes by treatment of the crude reaction mixture with ethyl chloroformate. In a typical procedure 3,3-dimethylcyclopentane-1,5-diol (7.8 g, 0.06 mole) was cleaved with sodium metaperiodate (115 g, 0.04 mole) in a mixture of water, 500 ml, and THF, 30 ml, at room temperature over 21 hours.
The ether extracts from the reaction mixture were dried
over MgSO+, concentrated and reacted with dry gaseous ammonia (slow bubbling) for six hours. lhen ethyl chloroformate (8 g, 0.074 mole) was added. Removal of solvent and distillation gave 2 g of6b, 1.5 g of 2,
and 0.3 g of%.
cyclopentane diols are listed in Table 1.
