Rearrangement of pyrrolines derived from the Birch reduction of electron-deficient pyrroles: radical ring-expansion to substituted tetrahydropyridines.
Access to the synthetically important tetrahydropyridine motif has been achieved by radical rearrangement of pyrrolines obtained from the Birch reduction of electron-deficient pyrroles.
