Abstract

A series of 2,3-dialkylpyridine derivatives (4a-h) have been prepared by the reaction of dialky-N-silylimines (1a-c) with 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one (3a-c) or (E)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one (3d). Dialkyl-N-trimethylsilylimines (1a-c), generated from alkyl cyanides and MeLi or n-BuLi and trimethylchloro- silane, reacted with a slight excess amount of 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one (3a-c) or (E)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one (3d) in the presence of LDA in dry tetrahydrofuran to afford the corresponding 2,3-dialkylpyridine derivatives (4a-h) in 62-86 % yields, respectively.
