Abstract
Cyanation of furo[2,3βb]β, β[2,3βc]β and β[3,2βc]pyridine Nβoxides 1a, 1b and 1c by the ReissertβHenze method, reaction with benzoyl chloride and trimethylsilyl cyanide in dichloromethane and the reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide and triethylamine in acetonitrile afforded 6βcyanofuro[2,3βb]β 2a, 7βcyanofuro[2,3βc]β 2b and 4βcyanofuro[3,2βc]pyridine 2c in moderate to excellent yield. The cyano group in 2a, 2b and 2c was converted to carboxamides 3a, 3b and 3c, ethyl imidates 5a, 5b and 5c and ethyl carboxylates 6a, 6b and 6c. Reaction of the Nβoxides with trimethylsily bromide in acetonitrile gave the deoxygenated furopyridine 7a and 7d, bifuropyridyl 8b and 8c, and the Nβoxide 9 of 8c.
