EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR SYNTHESIS OF α-PYRIDYL KETONES FROM ACYL CHLORIDES AND ALUMINOMETHYLPYRIDINES

A method is proposed for the synthesis of α-pyridyl ketones from acyl chlorides and 2-pyridylmethyl- and 4-pyridylmethylalanes.The prospects of the use of this method in the synthesis of C-pyridyl-substituted peracetylated uloses were demonstrated.
