Addition of 5-alkylaminopenta-2,4-dienals onto N-acyliminium ions, generated in situ from α-hydroxycarbamates derived from pyrrolidine or piperidine, in the presence of zinc triflate, followed by dehydrative cyclization, allowed the formation of pyridinium salts substituted at their 3-position by a five- or six-membered nitrogen heterocycle. Subsequent N-dealkylation of the pyridinium moiety and deprotection of the secondary amine or reduction of the carbamate function led to (±)-nicotine and analogs.

The stereoselectivity of iodomethylation of nicotine and seven nicotine analogues having pyridine alkyl groups was determined by using 13C NMR.Alkylation at the pyridine (N) and at the pyrrolidine (N') nitrogens was observed.Two modes of N'-iodomethylation occur, cis and trans to the pyridine ring.N'-Iodomethylation occurs regioselectively cis to the pyridine ring for all compounds examined.The N/N' and N'cis/N'trans ratios for the nicotinoids were evaluated with regard to (1) the orientation of the N'-methyl group in the free base, (2) conformational properties of the pyridine ring with respect to the pyrrolidine ring, and (3) steric hindrance and buttressing effects on the pyridine nitrogen.The Curtin-Hammett principle and the Winstein-Holness equation are used to analyse reactions.
