SERIES of pyridin-2-one derivatives have been prepared from ……the reaction of acetyl acetone and cyanoacetohydrazide or dialkyl carbocyanohydrazodithioates as well as 2H-pyran-ones. Some reactions of the pyridin-2-one were also studied. The synthesized compounds were structurally characterized on the basis of UV, IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses.
