Zusammenfassung: <jats:p>A convenient, one-pot, two-component synthesis of 2-(1-amidoalkyl)pyridines is reported, based upon the substitution of suitably-activated pyridine <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>-oxides by azlactone nucleophiles, followed by decarboxylative azlactone ring-opening. The synthesis obviates the need for precious metal catalysts to achieve a formal enolate arylation reaction, and constitutes a formally ‘umpoled’ approach to this valuable class of bioactive structures.</jats:p>
