Abstract
Tri- or tetrasubstituted pyridines are prepared by microwave irradiation of ethyl β-aminocrotonate and various alkynones in a single synthetic step and with total control of regiochemistry. This new one-pot Bohlmann-Rahtz procedure conducted at 170°C gives superior yields to similar experiments conducted using conductive-heating techniques in a sealed tube.
