2‐Tosyloxybenzaldehyde 1 was reacted with some active methylene compounds as 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratio under different basic conditions to afford the corresponding 2‐tosyloxyarylidenes 2–4 and/or 2‐tosyloxyphenylpyridine 5, respectively. Multicomponent reaction of 2‐tosyloxyarylidene 2 and AcONH4 with active methylene compounds namely: malononitrile, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoylacetate, 1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐ylacetonitrile, acetophenones or 3‐acetylheterocycle derivatives in methanol gave 2‐tosyloxyphenylpyridine derivatives 8–17, respectively. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by elemental and spectral analysis.
