Synthetic Applications of N-N Linked Heterocycles. Part 13. N-(2,5-Dimethylpyrrol-1-yl)pyridinium Salts in the Synthesis of 4-Alkyl and 4-Aryl-pyridines via Regiospecific Attack of Grignard Reagents and Organolithium Compounds.

The reaction between N-(2,5-dimethylpyrrol-1-yl)pyridinium salts and alkyl- or aryl-Grignard reagents, or organolithium compounds, gives regiospecifically 1,4-dihydro-intermediates.These may be isolated and decomposed under free-radical conditions to give moderate to good yields of 4-alkyl- and 4-aryl-pyridines.Results are compared with those obtained from a related reaction sequence involving N-(2,6-dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1-yl)pyridinium salts.
Synthetic Applications of N-N Linked Heterocycles. Part 7. The Preparation of 4-Alkyl- and 4-Aryl-pyridines by Regiospecific Attack of Grignard Reagents γ to Quaternary Nitrogen in N-(2,6-Dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1-yl)pyridinium Salts

N-(2,6-Dimethyl-4-oxopyridin-1-yl)pyridinium salts (4), new reagents for the regiospecific synthesis of 4-substituted pyridines, give moderate to high yields of 4-alkyl- and 4-aryl-pyridines (8) - (10) on reaction with Grignard reagents.The scope and limitations on the reaction, which proceeds via 1,4-dihydro-intermediates (5) - (7), are explored.No 2-substituted pyridines were detected.Some reactions with organolithium compounds are also described.
