Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydroindolysines, tetrahydropyridin-6-olates, and cyclopropanes from pyridinium ylides and unsaturated nitriles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00959644

The regio- and stereoselectivity of the reactions of pyridinium ylides with unsaturated nitriles are dependent on the electronic nature of the substituent in position 3 of the pyridine ring. The reaction of 1-carbamoylmethylide-3-cyanopyridinium with aryl
