Abstract

Alkylation of 6-methoxy-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydro-and 4-methoxy-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydropyridines with organo-silicon compounds as a carbon nucleophile by using electrogenerated acid as an acid catalyst proceeds regioselectively at the C-6 position via vinylogous acyliminium ion, while sulfenylation and methoxylation occurs at the C-4 position.
