Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing o-bromobipyridine. Background Art
[0002] The compound o-bromobipyridine is an important bipyridine compound and an important molecular building block. As a key intermediate, it is used in the synthesis of metal complexes in patent CN118620000A. The metal complex contains a tridentate ligand-metal-secondary amine structure and has good TADF performance. In patent CN118406092A, it is used for the synthesis of multidentate chelated nickel catalysts. The catalyst catalyzes alkyl radicals under visible light or ultraviolet light excitation to start free radical polymerization. The catalyst does not participate in the chain growth process and can effectively avoid the problem of reduced comonomer insertion rate caused by the steric effect of long-chain α-olefin comonomers.
