Abstract

2-Aminopyridines were synthesized from β-halo α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by a microwave-assisted Knoevenagel reaction. The β-halo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were, in turn, efficiently synthesized from the corresponding ketones by a Vilsmeier formylation reaction. The protocol was used to synthesize several novel steroidal and nonsteroidal fused 2-aminopyridine derivatives.
