β¦ Synopsis
Condensations between pyridinium salts and enolate anions are of particular synthetic interest, since they constitute a useful means of constructing carbon-carbon bonds and yield dihydropyridines2 which might provide unusual intermediates for further elaboration into alkaloid systems. There are several examples of intermolecular condensations between enolates and pyridinium salts,3as well as a related intramolecular condensation that proceeds in good yield under extremely mild conditions (aqueous NaHC03).4 In the present work attention has been directed towards the cyclization of N-(2-cyanomethyltryptophyl)pyridinium salts, since salts of this type are known to exist as intramolecular charge-transfer (C-T) complexes,5 and therefore, might be expected to cyclize readily to any one of several possible dihydropyridines.
