Abstract

Five alkynyl pyridines were prepared and cyclized to naphthylpyridines as the main products in the course of a Photo-Dehydro-Diels-Alder reaction. Four of the final products are axially chiral and the determination of the rotational barrier by DFT calculations, dynamic NMR and HPLC experiments is demonstrated.
