N2  - The reaction of &#946;-keto esters and amides with malononitrile, in the presence of alcohol, has been shown to proceed through cyanocarbon acid and iminopyran intermediates to yield the pyridones (3).With &#946;- diketones, in benzene solution, a similar reaction is accompanied by the formation of &#948;-lactams(15) and benzene derivatives (16).
