The condensation of alkanals and amino acids or primary amines was studied under neutral conditions at room temperature. From the reaction products of the glycine-propanal and L-.alpha.-leucine-propanal system the 1-(1-carboxymethyl)-2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyridinium betaine and the 1-(1-carboxy-3-methylpropyl)-4-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyridinium betaine were isolated and identified. From the reaction products of the ethanolamine-alkanal system, the pyridinium salt with 4 substituents located at the 1,2,3,5 positions was also isolated. The substitution patterns of these pyridinium betaines are similar to those of the amino acids isodesmosine and desmosine. A mechanism involving .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated aldimine intermediates is proposed, and evidence is presented that 2-ethyl-1,3,5,-trimethyl- and 4-ethyl-1,3,5-trimethylpyridinium salts are formed by condensation of N-2-methyl-2-pentenilidenemethylamine with propanal in the presence of acetic acid. Addition of alkanal to .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated aldimine apparently occurred regiospecifically and was followed by ring closure and oxidation to give pyridinium salts.
