Ce. Hosl et Kt. Wanner, Synthesis of 4-silyl-substituted methyl nicotinates via silylcupration of N-acylpyridinium salts, HETEROCYCLE, 48(12), 1998, pp. 2653-2659
A general synthetic method for the preparation of 4-silyl-substituted methy
l nicotinates (5) is described. The reaction sequence includes a silylcupra
tion of the N-acylated 3-methoxypyridinium salts (2) followed by oxidation
of the resulting dihydropyridines (3) to give 5.
