4-Alkyl- and 4-Benzyl-Substituted 3,3’-Oxybispyridines: An Efficient Synthesis at Room Temperature

All articles of this category Several new 4-alkyl- and 4-benzyl-substituted 3,3’-oxybispyridines 1 are accessible at room temperature in high yields from 3-hydrosypyridine, potassium salt derivatives 7 and 3-bromo-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide (5d) , which are readily available starting materials. The reactivity of 5d depends on the solvent. 3,3’-oxybispyridines - 3,4’-oxybispyridines - 4-benzylpyridinols
