Abstract
Ethynylpyridines have been satisfactorily prepared by two different routes: (a) the Wittig reaction between chloromethylene(triphenyl)phosphine ylide and a pyridinecarbaldehyde, followed by elimination of hydrogen chloride; (b) from the 2-methyl-4-(n-pyridyl)but-3-yn-2-ol intermediate, by elimination of acetone. 1,4-Di(n-pyridyl)buta-1,3-diynes are obtained by oxidative dimerization in good yield. An X-ray structure of the 3-substituted dimer is reported. Mono- and di-methyl salts of the 3-substituted diyne have been obtained and the charge-transfer complexes with tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) are formed.
