Titanocene-catalyzed selective synthesis of 2,4-dialkyl-6-(2-methoxyethyl)pyridines by the reaction of terminal acetylenes with 3-methoxypropionitrile
摘要
A selective one-pot method was developed for the synthesis of 2,4-dialkyl-6-(2-methoxyethyl)pyridines in yields of 70–82% by the reaction of terminal acetylenes with 3-methoxypropionitrile in the presence of EtAlCl2, Mg, and Cp2TiCl2 (10 mol.%).
