Acylation of 2-benzylpyridine N-oxides and subsequent in situ [3,3]-sigamatropic rearrangement reaction

An effective method for the acylation of 2-benzylpyridine N-oxides and their fast in situ [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement was reported. This transformation has a wide substrate scope under mild conditions, giving moderate to excellent yields. The application for the synthesis of chiral phenyl-2-pyridylmethanol products was briefly explored. Furthermore, an interesting example of tandem substitution and in situ [3,3]-sigamatropic rearrangement of 2-benzylpyridine N-oxide with benzenecarboximidoyl chloride was reported.

Palladium-catalyzed benzylic cross-couplings of pyridine N-oxides

Palladium-catalyzed C-H couplings (CSP3-C SP2) of pyridine N-oxides with benzyl chloride derivatives is reported. It provides a novel and easy process for the synthesis of 2-benzylpyridine derivatives through benzylic cross-couplings of pyridine N-oxides. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

Catalyst and base controlled site-selective sp2 and sp3 direct arylation of azine N-oxides

Site-selective direct arylation of both sp2 and sp3 sites on azine N-oxide substrates is described. The arylation reactions are carried out in either a divergent manner or a sequential manner. The sp3 arylation reaction is applied to the synthesis of the natural products, papaverine and crykonisine, and a rationale for low reactivity of electron-deficient aryl halides is provided. Mechanistic investigations point toward the intimate involvement of the base in the mechanism of these reactions.
