Abstract
AbstractEarth‐abundant and inexpensive titanium can catalyze alkyne iminoamination, which generates tautomers of 1,3‐diimines. Upon treatment with base (DBU) and malononitrile, the multicomponent coupling product is converted to 2‐amino‐3‐cyanopyridines in a one‐pot procedure in good to modest yields. There is substantial control of regioselectivity for the substituents on the pyridine ring and on the 2‐amino group. Several studies were done that provide significant evidence for a Dimroth rearrangement mechanism for 2‐aminopyridine formation, including isolation of a 2‐imino‐1,2‐dihydropyridine intermediate that undergoes rearrangement under the reaction conditions.magnified image
