In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Dihydropyridines. VII. Reactions of symmetrically alkylated 3,5-dicyanopyridines with sodium borohydride, published in 1964, which mentions a compound: 1195-58-0, Name is Pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile, Molecular C7H3N3, Application In Synthesis of Pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile.
cf. ibid. 1495; CA 60, 6817d. NaBH4 reduction of 3,5-dicyanopyridines I-VI gave 3,5-dicyano-1,2- and 1,4-dihydropyridines VII-XVII. I and LiAlH4 gave a mixture of VII and VIII which was separated by chromatography. Two procedures were used in the reduction of I-VI: Method A. EtOH (0.2 ml.) was added to a mixture of 38 mg. NaBH4 and 0.001 mole ground I-VI, and the precipitated product washed with 2.5 ml. cold H2O. Method B. NaBH4 (150 mg.) was added to a mixture of 0.002 mole I-VI and 5 ml. EtOH, the solution diluted with H2O to ∼80 ml. after several hrs., and the precipitated filtered off (starting compound, method, product, % yield, and m.p. given): I, B, VIII, 62, 205-6° (dilute EtOH); I, A, VII, 188-9° (Me2CO-cyclohexane) (VIII was also obtained); II, A, IX, 50, 214-15° (dilute EtOH); III, A, X + XI (92:8), 44, 154-72° (mixture); IV, B, XII, 89, 232-3° (MeOH); V, B, XIV + XV (71:29), 69, 138-69° (mixture); VI, -, XVI + XVII (86:14), 77, 108-22° (mixture). Similar results were obtained by reduction of I-IV with LiAlH4. Oxidation of 1.73 g. 3,5-dicyano-2-methyl-4-ethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine in 70 ml. EtOH with Ag2O from 7 g. AgNO3 gave 91% 3,5-dicyano-2-methyl-4-ethylpyridine (XVIII), m. 68-8.5°, sublimed 55-60°/0.4 mm. Treatment of 1.28 g. XVIII with MeMgI prepared from 750 mg. Mg and 1.9 ml. MeI gave 61% XVII, m. 101-2° (dilute acetone), which was oxidized with MnO2 to VI, m. 70-1°.
