Abstract

An isothiourea-catalyzed Michael addition–lactamization followed by the sulfide oxidation–elimination/N- to O-sulfonyl transfer sequence for the formation of 2,3,5- and 2,3-substituted pyridine 6-tosylates from (phenylthio)acetic acids and α,β-unsaturated ketimines is described. Incorporation of the valuable 2-sulfonate group allows derivatization to a range of di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted pyridines.
