β¦ Synopsis
The reduction of N-alkyl pyridinium salts with sodium borohydride is a well-known reaction, yielding in most cases the corresponding 1, 2, 3, C-tetrahydropyridine derivatives.
1 The mechanistic aspects of this reaction have been studied and a mechanism proposed. 2 We wish to report our studies on the analoguous reduction of N-benzyloxy pyridinium bromides. The literature describes one example of this reaction; the reduction of N-methoxy pyridinium perchlorate to pyridine. 3 Subsequent to completion of our work, the reduction of N-alkoxy pyridinium salts has been reported to yield a mixture of the corresponding tetrahydro pyridine, pyridine and piperidine ds rivatives. 4 In our studies, we have found that treatment of simple N-benzyloxy pyridinium bromides with sodium borohydride affords as the major products the corresponding tetrahydropyridines and bensylalcohol. (e.g. I -b II and III)
