Abstract—2,4-Diamino-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles were synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of bromine in 4-amino-2-bromo-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles. The optical properties of the synthesized compounds were studied to show that they fluoresce in solution and in the solid state in the violet region of the spectrum. Keywords: pyridines, aminopyridines, nucleophilic substitution, fluorescence

For example, we can mention derivatives that act as inhibitors of c-Jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) [1], mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK-2) [2], DNA ligases [3], and tyrosine kinase [4] and also used as anticancer drugs [5]. Corrosion inhibitors on the basis of pyran-annulated 2,4-diaminopyridines can also be mentioned [6]. Multicomponent reactions involving malononitrile dimer are among the most common method of synthesis of 2,4-diaminopyridines annulated to the pyran, pyridine, or other moieties [6–16]. Selective introduction of amino groups with the aim of preparation of 2,4-diaminopyridines of desired structure can be accomplished via nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atom [17–20] and reduction

of the azido group [21, 22] in the corresponding halo or azidopyridines. In the present work we synthesized previously unknown 2,4-diamino-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles 1 and studied their optical properties. In [23] we showed that the halogen atom in 4-amino-2bromo-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles 2 is easily replaced by primary and secondary amines to form the corresponding 2-alkylaminopyridines. Continuing this research we found that diaminopyridines 1 does not form under such conditions. As know from [19, 24], ammonia substitution for halogen occurs exclusively under harsh conditions. Optimizing conditions for synthesis we found that the reaction of 4-amino2-bromo-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles 2 with aqueous ammonia in an autoclave at 110°C for 6 h gives rise to 2,4-diamino-6-arylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles 1a–1f in yields of 73–85% (Scheme 1).
