On treatment with acylating or sulfonylating agents, N-alkenyl pyridine carboxamides (N-pyridinecarbonyl enamines) undergo a dearomatizing cyclization initiated by pyridine acylation and followed by intramolecular trapping of the resulting pyridinium cation. The products are spirocyclic dihydropyridines which may be further elaborated to spirocyclic heterocycles with drug-like features.

The products are spirocyclic dihydropyridines which are readily convertible into drug-like scaffolds. -(SENCZYSZYN, J.; BRICE, H.; CLAYDEN*, J.; Org.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
