4-Acyl-2-amino-6-chloropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles underwent heterocyclization in the presence of ammonia in aqueous dioxane medium, involving the ortho-ketonitrile fragment while preserving the halogen atom. The pyrrole ring annulation process proceeded regioselectively with the formation of a single positional isomer.
