Synthesis of new compounds containing the 2,3-dihydro[1,4]dioxino[2,3-b]pyridine heterocyclic system as a substructure

2,3-Dihydro-spiro[1,4]dioxino[2,3-b]pyridine-3,3′-pyrrolidine () and 2,3-dihydro-spiro[1,4]dioxino[2,3-b]pyridine-3,4′-piperidine () have been synthesized from 2-chloro-3-pyridinol. The corresponding 2,3′ () and 2,4′ () isomers were obtained via the Smiles rearrangement, while was also selectively synthesized from 2-nitro-3-pyridinol. The separation of the isomers under the sulfamide form was carried out by flash column chromatography. Subsequent transformations of the corresponding dioxinopyridine derivatives were described.
