2,2’-Bipyridine: From Versatile Building Blocks to Sexy Architectures and Functional (Nano)materials

Newkome, George R.; Patri, Anil; Holder, Elisabeth; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

The latest synthetic strategies to prepare 2,2
-bipyridine and its mono-substituted, symmetrical and unsymmetrical 3,3
-, 4,4
-, 5,5
-, and 6,6
-disubstituted derivatives are critically discussed and evaluated. Different coupling procedures to achieve new symmetrical and unsymmetrical functionalized 2,2
-bipyridines, such as Stille-type, Negishi-type, and Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions are discussed in detail. Moreover, condensation procedures that allow further variations are presented. The application of functional group transformations for access to additional groups is examined.
