The use of phenylsodium in the preparation of alkylpyridines

Journal of the Chemical Society C: Organic Pub Date: DOI: 10.1039/J39670000326

Abstract

2- and 4-Alkylpyridines, when heated under reflux with phenylsodium in benzene solution, give highly coloured sodio-derivatives of the bases, which on treatment with alkyl halides yield higher alkylpyridines without isomerisation.
