Abstract

A one-pot acid-catalyzed tandem reaction has been developed without any metallic reagents or extra oxidants. This reaction involves a C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond cleavage of enones via a “masked” reverse Aldol reaction, and C(sp3)–N bond cleavage of primary amines to provide nitrogen sources for the assembly of pyridine derivatives in high yields with excellent functional group tolerance.
