Abstract

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] The structure of a cyclohepta[c]pyridin-1-one, a product of an unusual transformation, isolated during a turbo-Grignard reagentpromoted methyl cross coupling to 5-bromo-1-phenyl-2-pyridone, was determined by 1H and 13C NMR, COSY and high-resolution MS, as well as computer modeling. Its formation suggests a remarkable nucleophilic attack at the α-position to the pyridone carbonyl group. A rational pathway is presented.
