2,3-Dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-ones 4 were prepared by a three-step sequence from commercially available 2-chloropyridine (1). Thus, successive treatment of 1 with (Pr2NLi)-Pr-i (LDA) and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes gave 1-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)alk-2-en-1-ols 2, which were oxidized with MnO2 to 1-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)alk-2-en-1-ones 3. The reactions of 3 with NaSH center dot n H2O proceeded smoothly at 0 degrees in DMF to provide the desired thiopyranopyridinones. Similarly, 2,3-dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[2,3-c]pyridin-4-ones 8 and 2,3-dihydro-4H-thiopyrano[3,2-c]pyridin-4-ones 12 were obtained starting from 3-chloropyridine (5) and 4-chloropyridine (9), respectively.
