Abstract

4-R.sub.2 -5-(Lower-alkanoyl)-6-(lower-alkyl)-2(1H)-pyridinones (I), useful as cardiotonics, where R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl, are prepared by reacting 2-(lower-alkanoyl)-1-(lower-alkyl)ethenamine (II) with lower-alkyl 2-propynoate or 2-butynoate respectively or by hydrolyzing 4-R.sub.2 -5-(lower-alkanoyl)-6-(lower-alkyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxonicotinonitrile (III, Q is CN) or corresponding 4-R.sub.2 -5-(lower-alkanoyl)-6-(lower-alkyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxonicotinamide to produce the corresponding 5-(lower-alkanoyl)-6-(lower-alkyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxonicotinic acid and decarboxylating said substituted nictotinic acid to produce I. Also disclosed and claimed are cardiotonic uses of 3-Q-4-R.sub.2 -5-(lower-alkanoyl)-6-(lower-alkyl)-2(1H)-pyridinones where Q is hydrogen or cyano and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl (III). Also shown and claimed is methyl 4-acetyl-5-amino-2,4-hexadienoate or acid-addition salt thereof, useful as intermediate or cardiotonic.
