Abstract

Abstract Nt-Butyldimethylsilylpyridinium triflate 2 reacted with Grignard reagents at 4- position with almost complete regioselectivity (> 99%) to afford the corresponding 1, 4- dihydropyridine derivatives (3), which are easily oxidized by oxygen to give 4-substituted pyridines (4: 58–70%).
