Abstract

Abstract Pyridinium-, 2-methylpyridinium-, and 2,6-dimethylpyridinium-1-thioacylaminides (5–7) were prepared from the corresponding unsubstituted pyridinium-1-aminides and methyl dithiocarboxylates in fairly good yields. The alkylation reaction of 5–7 took place exclusively on the thiocarbonyl sulfur, yielding pyridinium salts in quantitative yields. The NMR spectroscopic studies indicated that E and Z forms existed for these pyridinium salts. The thermal decomposition of 5–7 yielded the corresponding pyridine, nitrile, and sulfur in good yields.
