| Abstract: | A series of pyridines substituted in the 2-position were synthesized by cobalt(I)-catalyzed cotrimerization of alkynes and nitriles. The reactions are usually enhanced by light. The reaction conditions are very mild. Activity and selectivity are satisfactory with respect to formation of pyridines, but depend on the type of nitrile. |
