Description

2-Ethynyl-5-methylpyridine is an organometallic compound that can be synthesized by the reduction of 2-bromo-6-(diethoxymethyl)pyridine with sodium borohydride. This reaction generates a mixture of mono-, di-, and tri-substituted pyridines, which are separated by gas chromatography. The synthesis of this compound can be done in two steps: first, 2-bromo-6-(diethoxymethyl)pyridine is prepared by reacting diethoxyacetaldehyde with 2-bromopyridine; second, the desired product is synthesized from 2-ethynylpyridine. This process involves the addition of methylmagnesium bromide to the 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)propane diol and subsequent oxidation with sodium dichromate. Upon irradiation or photoexcitation, this compound undergoes oxidative dimer
