Abstract

Abstract 4-Chloro and 4-fluoropyridines were ortho-lithiated by n-butyllithium-TMEDA chelate or lithium diiso-propylamide at low temperature. The resulting 3-lithio 4- halopyridines were reacted with electrophiles which led to various 3, 4-disubstituted pyridines. The versatility of this functionalization is enhanced by the 4-halogen reactivity towards nucleophiles such as water, methylate and amines. Some of the 3, 4-disubstituted ...
