2-Formylpyridines have been shown to be suitable electrophiles for the magnesium-promoted phenolic aldol reaction. Exceptionally mild reaction conditions have been developed and a brief survey of the reaction scope has been conducted. This process gives straightforward access to a range of functionalised 2-hydroxyphenyl-2-pyridylmethanols and 2-hydroxyphenyl-2-pyridylmethanes via their subsequent reduction.
