Abstract

Abstract Cyanation of furo [2, 3-b]-,-[2, 3-c]-and-[3, 2-c] pyridine N-oxides 1a, 1b and 1c by the Reissert-Henze method, reaction with benzoyl chloride and trimethylsilyl cyanide in dichloromethane and the reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide and triethylamine in acetonitrile afforded 6-cyanofuro [2, 3-b]-2a, 7-cyanofuro [2, 3-c]-2b and 4-cyanofuro [3, 2-c] pyridine 2c in moderate to excellent yield. The cyano group in 2a, 2b and 2c was converted to ...
