The treatment of (5,5‐dimethyl‐3‐oxo‐1‐cyclohexenyl)iminotriphenylphosphorane ( 2 ) with phenyl isocyanate ( 3a ) gave N ‐(5,5‐dimethyl‐3‐oxo‐1‐cyclohexenyl)‐ N' ‐phenylcarbodiimide ( 4a ) in situ . The reaction of 4a with enamines proceeded smoothly to afford the pyridine ring formation with the elimination of amine. This means that 4a is regarded as a new class of 2‐aza‐1,3‐butadiene. The scopes and limitation of this reaction are also discussed.
