Overview

2-Pyridylacetonitrile undergoes coupling with aromatic diazonium salts to yield arylhydrazones. It also undergoes condensation with active malonic esters to yield 1-cyano-3-substituted 2-hydroxyquinolizin-4-ones. Acylation reaction of 2-pyridylacetonitrile with hot acetic anhydride has been reported.

2-Pyridineacetonitrile is a useful reagent for the organic synthesis and studies of pyridyl and dihydropyridyl analogs of meperidine and ketobemidone with their antinociceptive activities.
