• and not the 1:1 product 6a was the major product (Table 1, entry 1 and Figure 2), presumably due to the equilibria and thermodynamics favoring adduct 5. The Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis, and aldol/Michael sequences such as the reaction of hydroxytropolones with aromatic aldehydes give similar

Alternatively, ammonia (or an ammonium salt), an aldehyde and two equivalents of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound can react via a classical Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis. Similarly unsymmetrical
