General description

2-Ethynylpyridine is a pyridine derivative.

Application

2-Ethynylpyridine has been used to synthesize:
  • poly(2-ethynyl-N-iodopyridinium iodide), via in-situ uncatalyzed polymerization
  • poly[2-ethynyl-N-(2-furoyl)pyridinium chloride
  • poly[2-ethynyl-N-(propylsulfonate)pyridinium betaine]
  • 4-(2′-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triphospholide anion, via reaction with anionic heptaphosphide clusters
  • poly[N-(carboxymethyl)-2-ethynylpyridinium bromide], a new water-soluble ionic conjugated polymer
  • self-doped ionic conjugated polymer, poly(2-ethynylpyridinimum N-benzoylsulfonate).

Reactions between anionic heptaphosphide clusters ([P7](3-)/[HP7](2-)) and 2-ethynylpyridine yielded the 4-(2'-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triphospholide anion ([P3C2H(2-C5H4N)](-); 1). This species was isolated as a compositionally pure [K(2,2,2-crypt)](+) salt in moderate yields. Preliminary coordination studies of 1 toward Mo(CO)6 or Mo(py)3(CO)3 (py = pyridine) afforded

Poly(2-ethynyl-N-iodopyridinium iodide) [PEIPI] was easily prepared via in-situ uncatalyzed polymerization of 2-ethynylpyridine by using iodine. The activated acetylenic bond of 2-ethynyl-N-iodopyridinium iodide formed at the initial reaction time was assumed to be susceptible to linear polymerization, followed by an identical

A new water-soluble ionic conjugated polymer, poly[N-(carboxymethyl)-2-ethynylpyridinium bromide], was prepared by the activated polymerization of 2-ethynylpyridine by using bromoacetic acid. This polymerization proceeded well in mild reaction conditions without any additional initiator or catalyst. The polymer structure was characterized by
