The synthesis of bromo-substituted indeno[1,2-<i>b</i>]pyridin-2-ones and 3-iodo-5-benzyl-substituted 2-pyridones, starting from easily available 6-benzyl-3,6-dihydropyridin-2(1<i>H</i>)-ones, triggered by NBS and NIS, respectively, is described. In both syntheses, a transfer of a benzyl group from the C6 to C5 lactam position occurred, indicating a novel aza-semipinacol-type rearrangement. Identification of intermediate compounds in both transformations supported the proposed reaction mechanism ...[more]
