• TITLE: A Facile and Inexpensive Synthesis of 6-Ethynylbipyridine

  AUTHORS: Jianqiang Huo, John O. Hoberg

  KEYWORDS: 6-Ethynylbipyridine, 2-Bromo-6-Iodopyridine, 2-Methyl-3-Butyne-2-Ol, Palladium Coupling

  ABSTRACT: An inexpensive synthesis of 6-ethynylbipyridine has been accomplished using Sonogashira coupling of 2-bromo-6-iodopyridine with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol. Subsequent Stille coupling with 2-(trimethylstannanyl) pyridine and hydrolysis provided the target compound in an overall high yield.
