Abstract

A convenient one-pot C−H alkenylation/electrocyclization/aromatization sequence has been developed for the synthesis of highly substituted pyridine derivatives from alkynes and α,β-unsaturated N-benzyl aldimines and ketimines that proceeds through dihydropyridine intermediates. A new class of ligands for C−H activation was developed, providing broader scope for the alkenylation step than could be achieved with previously reported ligands. Substantial information was obtained about the mechanism of the reaction. This included the isolation of a C−H activated complex and its structure determination by X-ray analysis; in addition, kinetic simulations using the Copasi software were employed to determine rate constants for this transformation, implicating facile C−H oxidative addition and slow reductive elimination steps.

Karl Hemming, Musharraf N. Khan, Vishnu V. R. Kondakal, Arnaud Pitard, M. Ilyas Qamar, and Craig R. RiceOrganic Letters2012 14 (1), 126-129Pyridines have been formed by heating azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-4-ones in toluene. The generation of a 3-azacyclopentadienone intermediate via a [2 + 2]-cycloreversion is proposed as the key step. A Diels–Alder reaction of a styrene, extrusion of carbon ...
