Gold(i)-catalyzed synthesis of N-alkenyl 2-pyridonyl sec-amines

Abstract

N-Alkenyl 2-pyridonyl amines are afforded in high yields via a gold-catalyzed rearrangement of 2-propargyloxypyridine and 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)pyridine in acidic conditions. This approach exhibits significant utility due to its outstanding efficiency of...
