Abstract

A one-pot, copper-catalyzed method to construct 2-alk­ynylpyridines is presented. This provides a route to access these products directly from terminal alkynes and the parent pyridine, and without prefunctionalization of the pyridine core. In addition, (Z)-alk-2-enylpyridines can be prepared via a related procedure. These reactions are used to synthesize a number of new alkynyl- and alkenyl­-substituted pyridines in one pot.

Key words

pyridine - copper - catalytic - alkyne - alkene

The coupling constant J for trans-isomers is always larger (>10 Hz) than cis-isomers and is typically ∼15 Hz for E-alkenylpyridines (see ref. 25).
