✦ Synopsis


The condensation of B-keto enamine lwith 5-methyltetronic acid takes an anomalous course.

Single crystal X-ray analysis and chemical evidence establish the rearranged pyridine structure 15 for this condensation product.

We have recently described a total synthesis of the antitumor quinone streptonigrin.l

A key step in this synthesis was the thermal condensation of the known' B-keto
