In search of oligo(2-thienyl)-substituted pyridine derivatives: a modular approach to di-, tri- and tetra(2-thienyl)pyridines
{{output}}
Herein, we describe our attempts to systematically prepare a series of oligo(2-thienyl)-substituted pyridine derivatives. The crucial starting material, a β-alkoxy-β-ketoenamide, is easily available on a large scale by the reaction of lithiated methoxyallene... ...
