Abstract
A DBU-promoted metal-free reaction of 2-allyl-2H-azirines affords 1-azatrienes that in situ electrocyclize to pyridines in very good yields. The reaction displays a broad substrate scope and tolerates various substituents. In addition, one-pot synthesis of pyridines from oximes via in situ formation of 2H-azirines was achieved.
