An efficient method for highly α-regioselective nucleophilic substitution of the Baylis−Hillman acetates with indoles catalyzed by AgOTf in high yields (72−99%) has been developed. Reductive ...

The reaction of 3-halo-4-aminopyridines with acyl chlorides and triethylamine is described. The pyridin-4-yl α-substituted acetamide products were obtained in moderate to high yields. The presented ...
