4′-(5-N-Propylthiophen-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine

Abstract

A new thiophene-substituted terpyridine derivative has been prepared through the reaction between 5-n-propylthiophene-2-carboxaldehyde and 2-acetylpyridine. This terpyridine derivative bears an alkyl chain linked via a thiophene heterocycle.

“…Husson and Guyard presented the synthesis of the novel 4 -(5-N-propylthiophen-2-yl)-2,2 :6 ,2"-terpyridine, with potential application as a ligand for the preparation of metal complexes. The compound was obtained by the reaction between 2-acetylpyridine and 5-N-propylthiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, in high purity (>98%), as determined by quantitative NMR [18].…”
