Abstract
The main objective of this work was to study the rearrangement reactions of 1-alkyl-2-[(phenylsulfonyl)methyl]pyridinium iodides in the presence of various nucleophiles, leading to N-alkyl-2-(phenylsulfonyl)aniline derivatives. The best results were achieved with alkylammonium sulfites, leading to pyridine ring opening followed by recyclization to give diphenyl sulfone derivatives in up to 78% yields.
