Abstract
The nucleophilic rearrangement of 2'-substituted 2-ethylpyridines by the action of methylamine was studied. When the side chain has a nitrile group, the rearrangement is accompanied by intra- and intermolecular ammonolysis, leading to cyclic and linear amides, respectively. When the side-chain has an indole substituent, the rearrangement proceeds through the classical scheme.
