title: Bohlmann-Rahtz cyclodehydration of aminodienones to pyridines using N-iodosuccinimide.
abstract: Cyclodehydration of Bohlmann-Rahtz aminodienone intermediates using N-iodosuccinimide as a Lewis acid proceeds at low temperature under very mild conditions to give the corresponding 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines in high yield and with total regiocontrol.
