Abstract

The reactivity of the 1-triazolyl- and 1-imidazolyl-substituted methylene groups at position 4 of pyridine ring towards alkyl halides is described. Nitrogen heterocycles attached to the methylene group, as well as a 3-cyano group effectively promoted the alkylation, offering a convenient method for constructing structurally diverse molecules that may present pharmaceutical interest.
