The condensation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridones 1 with araliphatic amino compounds 2 gives rise to the 4-alkylamino-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridones 3. Irradiation using an ordinary domestic microwave oven provides a fast and simple method for their preparation. However, under the conditions used, aliphatic and aromatic amines gave no reaction
