Direct side-chain acylamination of 4-picoline 1-oxides and related compounds
Abstract
The anhydro bases formed from the reaction of 4-picoline 1-oxides with N-substituted benzimidoyl chlorides and a strong base undergo a new molecular rearrangement to give mixtures of the side chain acylaminated (e.g.4) and acylaminoarylated products (e.g.5); 2-picoline 1-oxides behave similarly.
