%X The synthesis is reported of 4-[&#969;-(3-thienyl)alkyl]pyridine (2), 4-[&#969;-(3-thienyl)alkyl]-2,2&#8242;- bipyridine (3) and 4-methyl-4'-[&#969;-(3-thienyl)alkyl]-2,2&#8242;-bipyridine (4), where the length of the alkyl chain is varied (n = 2, 5, 7, 9, 11). The synthetic methodology involved the reaction of the 3-(&#969;- bromoalkyl ) thiophen with the anions derived from 4-methylpyridine, 4-methyl-2,2&#8242;-bipyridine or 4,4&#8242;-dimethyl-2,2&#8242;-bipyridine by lithiation . The n.m.r. (1H and 13C) and electronic spectral characteristics of the compounds are discussed.
