The present study has investigated the reactivity of various N-derivatives of quaternary 2-halopyridinium salts with malononitrile dimer. The results demonstrate the formation of the corresponding 1,2-dihydropyridines, as well as a complete cascade transformation via the Thorpe–Ziegler reaction leading to pyridoindolizines.
