Abstract

Abstract Lewis-acid-catalyzed benzylic reactions of 2-methylazaarenes with aldehydes have been investigated. Series of azaarene derivatives were afforded by this reaction. 2-(Pyridin- 2-yl) ethanols with common substituents were formed through the LiNTf 2-promoted aldol reaction for the first time. 2-Alkenylpyridines, exclusively in the form of the E isomers, were synthesized in the presence of LiNTf 2 cooperated with H 2 NTf. In the presence of La (Pfb ...
