We report a BF 3 ‐mediated direct alkynylation of pyridines at C(2) by using a variety of alkynyllithium reagents (oxidative cross‐coupling). Moreover, we have developed a novel transition‐metal‐free cross‐coupling method between alkylmagnesium reagents and 4‐substituted pyridines, such as isonicotinonitrile and 4‐chloropyridine, by employing BF 3 ⋅OEt 2 as a promoter. The combination of these methods enabled us to efficiently prepare a range of di‐, tri‐, and tetrasubstituted pyridines.
