Bohlmann–Rahtz pyridine synthesis

In organic chemistry, the Bohlmann–Rahtz pyridine synthesis is a reaction that generates substituted pyridines in two steps, first a condensation reaction between an enamine and an ethynylketone to form an aminodiene intermediate, which after heat-induced E/Z isomerization undergoes a cyclodehydration to yield 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines.^[1][2][3][4]
