An efficient synthesis of 2-alkylpyridines using an alkylation/double decarboxylation strategy
摘要:
We have discovered a novel route for synthesising 2-alkylpyridines by exploiting the decarboxylation of pyridyl malonate esters. Herein we report the synthesis of a number of examples and describe how the reaction was discovered. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
