Synthesis of new linear poly(phenylpyridyl) chains

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tet.2011.12.074

This paper describes for the first time an efficient approach of Suzuki Miyaura cross-coupling reaction leading to new mixed linear unsymmetric phenylpyridyl chains (garlands). We have studied the synthesis of new phenylpyridyl boronic species and their reactivity with a dihalogenated bipyridine to obtain four and six unit phenylpyridines.
