We prepared several pyridine-derived heterocycles and investigated their photoacylating properties. Among representatives of 4 families of compounds (1-acetyl-7-azaindole, 1-acetyl-7-azaindoline, 2-acetamindpyridine and 2-amidopyrimidines), the 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives were the most promising candidates. Photoacylation of dodecylamine yields up to 47% were obtained, upon irradiation with UV light at 254 nm.
