A new LiI-promoted O- to N-alkyl migration has been developed for the conversion of O-alkylated 2-hydroxy pyridines, quinolines, and pyrimidines to the corresponding N-alkylated heterocycles in good to excellent yields (57−99%). This method serves as an efficient means for the preparation of N-benzyl pyridones, quinolones, and pyrimidones.
