2-Phenylpyridine activated by chromium tricarbonyl reacts with bis(TMS) ketene acetals to give pyridine-substituted bicyclic γ-lactones. On the other hand, its reaction with the same acetals leads, upon activation with methylchloroformate, to dihydropyrid

Bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals react with pyridines, quinoline and isoquinoline in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of methyl chloroformate to give the corresponding dihydropyridine-, dihydroquinoline- and dihydroisoquinoline-substituted carboxylic acids in satisfactory yields. The regio- and diastereoselectivities of the addition reactions, together with the presence or absence of rotamers, have been established. The isolated acids react with peracids to give β-hydroxy-δ-lactones through an intramolecular reaction. Similar lactonizations could also be brought about directly from the azaaromatic compounds in one-pot reactions with silica gel, iodine or bromine. In these cases δ-lactones or β-halo-δ-lactones were produced. The behaviour of pyrazines in these transformations is peculiar, since methyl chloroformate on its own induces the formation, through interaction with both nitrogen atoms, of polycyclic γ-lactones, a reaction formally reminiscent of the double nucleophilic addition of the same ketene acetals to (arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes. Most of the new structures were assigned through X-ray crystal structure determinations. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2005.
