title: Copper-catalyzed aerobic synthesis of 2-arylpyridines from acetophenones and 1,3-diaminopropane.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed reaction providing direct access to 2-arylpyridines from acetophenones and 1,3-diaminopropane is described. A range of electronically diverse acetophenones undergo this transformation, affording 2-arylpyridines in good yields.
