Popis: The reaction products of 1-trifluoromethanesulfonylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (TPT) with secondary amines have been thoroughly examined by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. The products include the normal ones expected for a ring-opening reaction (I-azahexatriene and cyanine) in addition to the unexpected formation of a 4-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine. Tandem reactions -ring-opening, nucleophilic addition on the pyridinium ring seems to be the most probable pathway to the 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds. Preliminary tests on the compounds revealed significant anti-microbial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, with moderate specificity towards Enterococcus faecalis.
