A new synthesis of 2, 3-disubstituted pyrroles and pyridines is described. The reaction of 3- halo-1-azaallylic carbanions, regiospecifically generated from α-halogenated ketimines, with ω-iodoazides led to the regiospecific formation of ω-azido-α-haloketimines. Treatment of these functionalized imines with tin (II) chloride afforded halogenated five-and six- membered cyclic imines, which were transformed under mild conditions into 2, 3- ...
