Abstract
We have shown that in reductive condensation of trichloromethylarenes with hydroxylamine and hydrazines in pyridine the reduction stage, involving the exchange of one chlorine atom for a hydrogen atom, can proceed without participation of hydroxylamine or hydrazine via the interaction of trichloromethylarene with pyridine leading to the formation of N-[N′-(α-chlorobenzyl- 4-pyridyl)]pyridinium salts which give after hydrolysis N-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium dichloride and respective aromatic aldehydes in high yields.
