Popis: New cyclic amidines are obtained in a one-step procedure by the palladium-catalyzed reduction of (2-pyridyl)-β-nitriles. The partial hydrogenation of pyridine derivatives takes place under acidic conditions, followed by spontaneous ring closure promoted by palladium activation of the nitrile. The reaction is highly efficient (80–91% yield) and occurs under mild conditions.
