Abstract

A mild, practical, one-pot method for the generation of imidoyl chlorides and their subsequent in situ reaction with pyridine-1-oxides is described. The imidoyl chlorides were formed from the reaction of secondary amides with a stoichiometric amount of oxalyl chloride and 2, 6-lutidine in CH2Cl2 at 0° C. Upon warming of the reaction mixture to room temperature in the presence of pyridine-1-oxides, a rapid conversion to 2-aminopyridine ...
