Abstract The Pd-catalyzed amination of 2, 6-dibromopyridine with various linear polyamines and oxapolyamines was studied. In this way polyazamacrocycles 3 containing one pyridine and one polyamine moiety were synthesized using equimolar amounts of starting compounds. Two alternative approaches were elaborated and compared for synthesis of macrocycles 11 comprising two pyridine and two polyamine fragments: via intermediate ...
