Competitive 2-AzaVs3-Azahexa-1,3,5-triene 6π-Electrocyclization: A Regiospecific Synthesis of 3-Arylpyridines

Abstract
Aza Wittig reaction of iminophosphoranes derived from ethyl α-azido-β-arylpropenoates with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes leads to aldimines which by heating undergo electrocyclic ring-closure through the 3-azahexa-1,3,5-triene moiety to give 3-arylpyridines in a completely regiospecific fashion.
