Microwave-assisted synthesis of symmetric and asymmetric viologens
摘要:
Viologens are generally synthesized by N-alkylating 4,4'-bipyridine with alkyl halides. Under conventional heating conditions, however, their synthesis suffers from long reaction times and, often, low yields. In this work, symmetric and asymmetric viologens were synthesized under the assistance of microwave irradiation in good to excellent yields and in short reaction times. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
