5-Alkyl-2-(p-tolylsulfonyl)pyridines by Regioselective Cyano [4+2] Cycloaddition 5-Alkyl-2-(p-tolylsulfonyl)pyridines 4 are obtained in good yields at room temperature by cyano [4+2]cycloaddition of p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide 2 to 2-alkyl-1-ethoxy-1,3-butadienes 1, followed by aromatization of the intermediate dihydropyridine 3 via an 1,4-elimination of ethanol.
