Abstract
AbstractA previously reported anionic rearrangement of benzyl 2‐pyridyl ethers can now be accessed by a distinct and unusual mechanism: addition of alkyllithium reagents to α‐(2‐pyridyloxy)‐styrene triggers an anionic rearrangement to afford tertiary pyridyl carbinols. The process is explained by invoking a contra‐electronic, pyridine‐directed carbolithiation of the enol ether π‐system.
