Abstract
A new methodology is described for the novel and rapid synthesis of nicotine and its analogues from nicotinaldehyde. The major feature of the methodology is the highly effective intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides. The reaction was studied using conventional thermal and microwave irradiation conditions.
