摘要

An improved and efficient synthesis of pinene based two bipyridyldiols and bipyridine is reported. For the first time, the sealed tube-pressure reaction of pinene based pyridone with phosphoryl chloride produced an excellent yield (95%) of pinene based 2-chloropyridine, which renders synthesizing pinene based bipyridyldiols a highly inexpensive and high yielding process. Moreover, highly effective reaction condition was developed for homocoupling of chloropyridine with Ni(0) that afforded pinene based bipyridine in a high yield (84%). These newly demonstrated sealed tube-pressure chlorination and homocoupling reaction of chloropyridine afford extremely effect route for the synthesis of pinene based bipyridine.
