Abstract

A new ring contraction reaction giving pyridine derivatives from 3,6-and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-3H-azepines was observed by a successive treatment with bromine and aqueous K2CD3. A plausible mechanism via azatropilium cation for the rearrangement was discussed based on the product's distribution from respective 3H-azepines.
