Abstract

A simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of tetrahydrooxazolo[3,2-a]pyridines and hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, and some related oxa- and aza-condensed tetrahydropyridines, from the reaction of 2-alkoxy-5-(trifluoroacetyl)-2,3-dihydro-2H-pyrans (cyclic enones) with amino alcohols and primary diamines, is reported. Products were isolated with high purity and in very good yields.
