In order to elucidate the mechanism of the 2-acetylation in the reaction of nicotinic acid 1-oxide (2a) with boiling acetic anhydride, thermal reactions and reactions with hot acetic anhydride have been explored with 3-X-pyridine 1-oxides (2).The former reactions of 2d (X = CONHAc), 2f (X = CONMeAc), 2h (X = CH2OAc) and 2j result in recovery or decomposition.The latter reactions of 2c (X = CONH2), 2d, 2e (X = CONHMe), 2h and 2j bring about mainly deoxygenative α-acetoxylation, no 2-acetylation being noticed.However, the reaction of 2f with acetic anhydride affords 6,7-dihydro-6-methyl-7-methylene-5H-pyrrolopyridin-5-one 1-oxide (7) as an initial product, which further undergoes deoxygenative β-acetoxylation to give 7-acetoxy-7-acetoxymethyl-6,7-dihydro-6-methyl-5H-pyrrolopyridin-5-one (8) and 7-acetoxymethylene-6,7-dihydro-6-methyl-5H-pyrrolopyridin-5-one (9).On the basis of the results we propose a new electrophilic pathway for the 2-acetylation of 2a and 2f.Keywords - pyridine 1-oxide 3-substituted; nicotinic acid 1-oxide; nicotinamide 1-oxide N-acetyl-N-methyl; pyrrolopyridine; 2-acetylation; pyridone formation
