A variety of different N-[2-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)pent-4-enylidene]amines and N-(2,6-dichlorohex-4-enylidene)amines was prepared for the first time, and their reactivity as eligible building blocks for the synthesis of biologically relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds was studied. In this way, a convenient entry into functionalized 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes, piperidines, pyridines, pyrroles, and tetrahydroindoles was developed, pointing to the broad synthetic flexibility of these dichlorinated imine substrates.
Flow synthesis of 2-methylpyridines via α-methylation

A series of simple 2-methylpyridines were synthesized in an expedited and convenient manner using a simplified bench-top continuous flow setup. The reactions proceeded with a high degree of selectivity, producing α-methylated pyridines in a much greener fashion than is possible using conventional batch reaction protocols. Eight 2-methylated pyridines were produced by progressing starting material through a column packed with Raney nickel using a low boiling point alcohol (1-propanol) at high temperature. Simple collection and removal of the solvent gave products in very good yields that were suitable for further use without additional work-up or purification. Overall, this continuous flow method represents a synthetically useful protocol that is superior to batch processes in terms of shorter reaction times, increased safety, avoidance of work-up procedures, and reduced waste. A brief discussion of the possible mechanism(s) of the reaction is also presented which involves heterogeneous catalysis and/or a Ladenberg rearrangement, with the proposed methyl source as C1 of the primary alcohol.
Convenient procedure for the α-methylation of simple pyridines

scheme or table, p. 3672 - 3682 (2009/04/03)
A convenient and straightforward laboratory procedure is presented for a highly selective mono-α-methylation of pyridines without reactive functional groups. The methylating agent is probably carbon monoxide/dihydrogen generated in situ from a high-boiling alcohol on a metal surface. The reaction is catalyzed by a Raney nickel catalyst at ambient pressure, which renders the protocol practicable in standard organic laboratories. The intrinsically high reaction temperature and long reaction times restrict the application to pyridine derivatives with less reactive substituents. The outcome of the reaction can be rationalized by the assumption of a simple heterogeneous mechanism. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
