Abstract

The NH₄I-triggered formal [4 + 2] annulation of α,β-unsaturated ketoxime acetates with N-acetyl enamides enables an efficient and straightforward construction of polysubstituted pyridines in good yields. This metal-free protocol employs electron-rich enamides as C2 synthons and tolerates a wide range of functional groups.
