“…These molecules could be applied for the treatment and prevention of abnormal cell proliferation in cancer diseases [1,2]. Additionally, 2-alkynylpyridines represent synthetically relevant intermediates in organic synthesis, because their triple bonds could readily undergo diverse transformations, such as annulation [3], cyclization [4], or 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition [5]. In this context, these compounds contribute to the construction of a large array of heterocyclic frameworks, including azaindoles [6,7], furo [3,4-b]pyridines [8], indolizines [9], isoquinolines [10], aryl-substituted pyridines [11], and N-metallacycles [12].…”
