The reactions of pyridine-N-oxides with Ph3P under the developed conditions provide an unprecedented route to (pyridine-2-yl)phosphonium salts. Upon activation with DABCO, these salts readily serve as functionalized 2-pyridyl nucleophile equivalents. This umpolung strategy allows for the selective C2 functionalization of the pyridine ring with electrophiles, avoiding the generation and use of unstable organometallic reagents. The protocol operates at ambient temperature and tolerates sensitive functional groups, enabling the synthesis of otherwise challenging compounds.

N-(Pyrid-2-yl)-substituted azolium and pyridinium salts, precursors for hybrid NHC-containing ligands, were obtained with excellent regioselectivity, employing a deoxygenative CH-functionalization of pyridine-N-oxides with substituted imidazoles, thiazoles, and pyridine. Unlike the traditional SNAr-based methods, this approach provides high yields for substrates bearing substituents of different electronic nature. The utility of azolium and pyridinium salts thus prepared was also highlighted by the synthesis of pyridyl-substituted imidazolyl-2-thione, benzodiazepine as well as 2-aminopyridines.

A copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of benzylpyridine N-oxides is reported. The N-oxide moiety acts as a built-in activator for the benzylic methylene oxidation, without requirement of additives. Reaction conditions were identified which suppress undesired benzoylpyridine formation via N-deoxygenation involving intermolecular oxygen transfer. The versatility of the N-oxide group of the benzoylpyridine N-oxide reaction products for post-functionalization of the pyridine ring is demonstrated through efficient C–C, C–N, C–O and C–Cl bond forming procedures, with both nucleophiles and electrophiles. Finally, the applicability of the new synthetic methodology is demonstrated in an alternative route towards the antihistaminic drug Acrivastine via three consecutive N-oxide activated C–H functionalization processes, starting from picoline N-oxide.
