Abstract

Results Preparation of the B, P-Diphenyl-@-(2-pyridyl)-and B, B-Diphenyl-B-(4-pyridyl) ethyl Substrates for Rearrangement. It was hoped that both the 2-and 4-(2-chloro-1, l- diphenylethy1) pyridines (4a and 5a) could be prepared in a similar manner, namely, the reaction of the corresponding benzhydrylpyridine with formaldehyde under basic conditions to generate the 2-substituted ethanols 8 and 10 and then the reaction of these alcohols ...
