bis-alkylsulfonylpyridines
Abstract
Dihalogenated pyridines, some activated with carboxylic, ester or cyano group, were allowed to react with sodium alkylmercaptides. After hydrolysis of the ester or cyano group followed by decarboxylation, bis-alkylthiopyridines with substituents at 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6- and 3,5-positions were prepared. These compounds were oxidized to bis-alkylsulfonylpyridines.
