33. Similar results were obtained with other substituted pyridines and diazenes; under identical conditions, the coupling of 2-(3-pentyl)pyridine with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride afforded a 16% yield of 2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-6- (3-pentyl)pyridine, while the coupling of 2,3-dimethylpyrazine with 3,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride afforded a 31% assay yield of 2-(3,5- dimethylphenyl)-5,6-dimethylpyrazine.
