Oxime derivatives of 5-oxoalkanenitriles (C6 chain or longer) were cyclized in most cases with a combination of AcCl and Ac2O, or Ac2O and HCl to 6-substituted 2-(N-acetylamino)pyridines. hydrolysis gave the corresponding 2-aminopyridines in overall yields of 40-65 %, with the exception of pyridine 3e. Oxime derivatives of 5-oxopentanenitriles did not cyclize but gave glutaronitriles instead. In some experiments with 5-oximinohexanenitrile(1a),2,4-dimethyl-5-(2-cyanoethyl)oxazole (9)was detected in addition to the main product, 2-(N-acetylamino)-6-methylpyridine(2a). Formation of these compounds can be explained on the basis of a common intermediate 7 formed through rearrangement of the O-acetylated 5-oximinohexanenitrile (4).
