Abstract

In seeking a more direct route to fused pyridine ring systems, we have found that l-aza-1, 3, 5-hexatrienes based on the five-membered ring of thiophene or indole undergo a facile intramolecular thermal cyclization with loss of water to yield fused pyridine rings. 5 We here report on the use of this cyclization to prepare some thieno [3, 2-c]-pyridines and some 5H- pyrido [4, 3-b] indoles.(*;-(p+
