New synthetic approach to α-methylpyridines
摘要
A new synthetic approach was developed to prepare α-methylpyridines and their cyclopentene-fused analogs via the condensation of 2-bromopropiophenones with carboxylic acid hydrazides to form 1,2,4-triazines followed by their transformation by the Boger reaction. The synthesis can be accomplished by a one-pot procedure. It was demonstrated that the α-methyl group in the pyridine moiety can be further modified.
