Herein a simple one-pot metal-free synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines and pyridine Noxides by [2+2] cycloaddition of enaminones, which are prepared in situ from alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl methyl ketones using N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA), and propyne iminium salts as electron-poor acetylenes, is described.
