Abstract

4-Hydroxypyridine undergoes a smooth reaction with alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine to produce and β-substituted alkyl acrylate products. When the reaction was performed with 4-hydroxyquinoline only  α-substituted alkyl acrylates were obtained.

Keywords: 4-hydroxypyridine, 4-hydroxyquinoline, Alkyl Acrylates, Alkyl Propiolates, Triphenylphosphine
