Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

2-(3-Arylpropyl)pyridines were synthesized in 30–54% yields by the free-radical addition of toluene, o-, m-, and p-xylenes, and mesitylene to 2-vinylpyridine at 250–350 °C. The products of rearrangement of the intermediate adduct radical with 1,3-H migration were isolated and identified.
