Use | 4-isopropylpyridine is used as a reagent for the synthesis of bis (alkylpyridine), which is antifungal and cytotoxic. |
Preparation method | The preparation of 4-isopropylpyridine is as follows: 1) At 0°C, to a mixture of 5.1g(14.3mmol)Ph3PhCH3Br in 25 mLHF, 11.0mLn-BuLi(1.6M hexane solution) is added dropwise within 20 minutes. After 1 hour, 1.5g(12.8mmol) of 1-(pyridine-4-yl) ethanone was added to 20mL of THF. The mixture was stirred at 0°C for 1 hour, then at room temperature for 50 minutes. The mixture was filtered through a Brinell funnel. Saturated NH4Cl and H2O were added to separate the layers. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Purified by rapid silica gel chromatography (54% EtOAc/hexane) to obtain isopropenylpyridine, which is a light yellow liquid. 2) At room temperature, stir a mixture of 4-(prop-1-en-2-yl) pyridine and 342mg 20% Pd(OH)2 in 15mLEtOAc and 10mLMeOH under an H2 balloon. After 24 hours, 305mg of 20% Pd(OH) was added for 2,6 hours, and the mixture was filtered through diatomite, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in 15mLMeOH and 512mg 20% Pd(OH)2 was added. The mixture was stirred in a H2 balloon for 11.5 h at room temperature, filtered through diatomaceous earth, and concentrated to give 4-isopropylpyridine. |
