本文以採用6-甲氧基-2-甲基-3,4'-雙吡啶6或6-苄氧基-2-甲基-3,4'-雙吡啶7經中間體6-氯-2-甲基-3,4'-雙吡啶5以去氯取得2-甲基-3,4'-雙吡啶4方便途徑合成。
2-Methyl-3,4'-bipyridine 4 was synthesized either from 6-methoxy-2-methyl-3,4'-bipyridine 6 or 6-benzyloxy-2-methyl-3,4'-bipyridine 7 via 6-Choro-2-methyl-3,4'-bipyridine 5. The chloro derivative 5 was catalytically dechlorinated into the corresponding 2-methyl-3,4'-bipyridine 4.
