The C-H activation of 2-phenylpyridine, catalyzed by copper(ii), palladium(ii) and ruthenium(ii) carboxylates, was studied in the gas phase. ESI-MS, infrared multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations were combined to investigate the intermediate species in the reaction. Collision induced dissociation (CID) experiments and DFT calculations allowed estimation of the energy required for this C-H activation step and the subsequent acetic acid loss.
