The Grignard reaction of fused ring cyanopyridine derivatives 1a-d wit
h methyl- and phenylmagnesium bromide yielded the corresponding acylpy
ridine compounds 2a-d and 3a-d. Furopyridine N-oxides 4a-d were conver
ted into the compounds having a phenyl group at the alpha-position to
the ring nitrogen 5a-d. Reduction of 1a-d and the carboxylic esters 6a
-d with diisobutylaluminium hydride yielded the corresponding amines 7
a-d and aldehydes 9a-d. The aldehydes were converted to nitroethanol d
erivatives 10a-d by condensation with nitromethane and acrylic ester c
ompounds 11a-d by the Wittig-Horner reaction with methyl diethyl phosp
honoacetate.
