Abstract

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines via oxidative cascade annulation of arylacetylenes with benzylamines has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly utilizing iron(II) triflate as a catalyst and molecular oxygen as an oxidant with broad substrate scope. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction may be experiences an oxidative condensation followed by double alkynylation and amination process.
