A new route for the synthesis of 2-aminopyridines has been developed that merges C–H functionalization with amide alcoholysis. The key component of this method is the ability of a quinazolinone to template the chemo- and regioselective construction of a latent pyridine ring via site-selective olefinic C–H bond functionalization under Ru(II) catalysis. Thus, highly substituted 2-aminopyridines […]
