Also, the reactivity of the compounds 5a–c toward hydrazine hydrate to give product 1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine derivative 7 was studied. In addition, the reactivity of the 2a–c toward 1-cyanoacetyl-4 arylidenesemicarbazides 8a–c afforded 3,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile derivatives (12–14)a–c, which reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give 3H-pyrazolo[4,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile derivatives 15a–c. The structures of the new products were characterized based on 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, mass-spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The products were screened in vitro for their antibacterial and antifungal activity properties. Keywords: amino-2-pyridones, N-cyanoacetohydrazide, cyanoaceto-N-phenylsulfonylhydrazide, 2-benzoyl-3,3-bis(alkylthio)acrylonitriles, 5-benzoyl-N-sulfonylamino-4-alkylsulfanyl-2-pyridones, 5-benzoyl-N-substituted-amino-4-alkylsulfanyl-2 pyridones, antimicrobial activity
