We achieved the first synthesis of N-alkynylpyridinium salts, by reacting pyridines with alkynyl-λ3-iodanes. The N-alkynylpyridiniums exhibit highly electron-accepting character with extended π-conjugation. The electrophilic alkynyl groups were readily susceptible to Michael addition and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to afford various N-alkenylpyridiniums. Ring-fused pyridiniums were synthesized through intramolecular cyclization, demonstrating the utility of N-alkynylpyridiniums for the design of various electron-deficient cationic nitrogen-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with unique optical and electrochemical properties.
