General Description

2-isopentylpyridine, also known as 2-propylpyridine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H13N. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. 2-isopentylpyridine is primarily used as a flavor ingredient in the food industry, where it adds a nutty, smoky, and bacon-like flavor to various products, including meats, cheeses, and savory snacks. It is also used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and other cosmetic products. Additionally, 2-isopentylpyridine has been studied for its potential medicinal properties, including its ability to act as an insect repellent and its potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. However, further research is needed to fully understand and exploit these potential health benefits.

Unlocking the Accessibility of Alkyl Radicals from Boronic Acids through Solvent-Assisted Organophotoredox Activation

Despite their prevalence in organic synthesis, the application of boronic acids (BAs) as alkyl radical precursors in visible-light-assisted photocatalyzed reactions has been limited by their high oxidation potential. This study demonstrates the prominent

Enantioselective Alkylation of 2-Alkylpyridines Controlled by Organolithium Aggregation

Direct enantioselective α-alkylation of 2-alkylpyridines provides access to chiral pyridines via an operationally simple protocol that obviates the need for prefunctionalization or preactivation of the substrate. The alkylation is accomplished using chiral lithium amides as noncovalent stereodirecting auxiliaries. Crystallographic and solution NMR studies provide insight into the structure of well-defined chiral aggregates in which a lithium amide reagent directs asymmetric alkylation.

Zn-promoted regio- and sequence-selective one-pot joining reactions of three components: vinylpyridines, alkyl iodides, and carbonyl compounds (or nitriles)

Addition of alkyl iodides (3) into the solution containing 2-(or 4-)vinylpyridine (1 or 2) and carbonyl compounds (6) in the presence of Zn-powder (99.9%) in acetonitrile under refluxing brought about regio- and sequence-selective joining reaction of thre
