In previous work of our laboratory it was demonstrated that collidine (2,4,6-trimethylpyridine) abolishes the core osmiophilia and chromaffin reaction from rat pinal gland and vas deferens nerves. This abolition was apparent when tissues were briefly incubated in collidine or when

Mild substitution reactions of acetals with carbon nucleophiles via the pyridinium-type salts generated by the treatment of acetals with TESOTf-2,4,6-collidine or 2,2'-bipyridyl have been developed. Various carbon nucleophiles, such as organocuprates, silyl enol ethers, enamines, etc., reacted with the pyridinium-type

We have found that ruthenium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of allenyl alcohols in 2,4,6-collidine under atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide smoothly proceeds to afford alpha,beta-unsaturated five- and six-membered lactones in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, we have completed a highly stereoselective synthesis of
