3-Cyanopyridine → 3-Phenylethynyl-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure was identical to Example 2, with the exception that 3-cyanopyridine (0.208 g; 2.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of benzonitrile. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 20 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 0.89 mmol (45% yield) of 3-(phenylethynyl)pyridine and no remaining 3-cyanopyridine in the reaction mixture.
