Abstract
| - A variety of substituted 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridines havebeen prepared regioselectively by a transition-metal-free,mild, one-step route, which involves the reaction of pyridineN-oxides with silylaryl triflates in the presence of CsF inacetonitrile at room temperature. These reactions proceedin good yields through what appears to be a series ofrearrangements.
