Abstract

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 3-alkynylpyridines via a zinc-mediated tandem reaction of nitriles with propargyl bromides under extremely mild reaction conditions has been developed. This reaction exhibits high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance. In addition, the 3-alkynylpyridines obtained herein were found to be versatile and convenient intermediates for the preparation of fused-heterocyclic compounds with potential biological and material interests.
