Significance

A four-step synthesis of trisubstituted pyridines from Baylis-Hillman adducts 1 is reported. The SN2′ reaction products 2 are subjected to combined Michael addition-aldol condensation to give products 3 which, upon treatment with Cs2CO3, give pyridine derivatives 4. The scope and limitations of this procedure were not widely investigated.
