In the presence of 2–5 mol % Cp*RuCl (cod), various 1,6‐diynes reacted with α‐monohalo‐ and α,α‐dihalonitriles at ambient temperature to afford 2‐haloalkylpyridines in 42–93% isolated yields. The failure of acetonitrile, N , N ‐dimethylaminoacetonitrile, phenylthioacetonitrile, and methyl cyanoacetate as nitrile substrate clearly showed that the α halogen substitution is essential for the present cycloaddition under mild conditions. The cycloaddition of unsymmetrical diynes bearing a substituent on one alkyne terminal gave 2,3,4,6‐substituted pyridines exclusively.
