Abstract

6-(Pyridyl)salicylates were regioselectively prepared by formal [3+3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with 3-(pyridyl)-3-silyloxy-2-en-1-ones. These reactions represent what are, to the best of our knowledge, the first [3+3] cyclizations of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with heterocyclic substrates.
