Abstract

Abstract: 4'-Vinyl-2, 2': 6', 2”-terpyridinyl was conveniently prepared from 2-acetylpyridine via a-oxoketene dithioacetal methodology, the intermediate 4'-(methylthi0)-2, 2': 6', 2''- terpyridinyl being converted into the corresponding 4'-methyl derivative with methylmagnesium bromide and bis (triphenylphosphino) nickel (II) dichloride followed by generation of the methyl anion with lithium tetramethylpiperidide, reaction of the anion ...
