An improved synthesis of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is reported. The key step involves the light-promoted [2+2+2] cyclization of 3,3-bissilyl-di-2-propynyl ethers and acetonitrile in the presence of [cpCo(cod)] (1 mol%) as a catalyst. Convenient oxidation and iodination procedures are elaborated to transfer 3-silylpyridines into corresponding 3-hydroxy- and 3-iodo-derivatives.
