Abstract

Isonicotinamides carrying N-furanylmethyl, N-pyrrolylalkyl or N-thiophenylmethyl substituents at nitrogen undergo cyclisation induced by an electrophile, giving spirocyclic compounds or doubly spirocyclic compounds in which both the nucleophilic and electrophilic heterocycles are dearomatised.
