Abstract

16 the AB unit 2. Examination of the literature* revealed that available methods would require a lengthy synthesis: the reported3 synthesis of 3, which was the compound most structurally related to 2 then known, requires seven4 steps. We now describe a conceptually new, highly convergent method of pyridine synthesis which not only affords 2 in a one-pot operation but also provides general and simple access to a diverse spectrum of complex ...
