Abstract

Chemistry. The general synthesis route for the title compounds is outlined in Scheme I. Bromination of 5-chloro-2-methoxypyridine produced the 3-bromo derivative 2a. Similarly, bromination of 2-methoxypyridine with an extra equivalent of bromine gave the dibromopyridine 2b. Bromine-lithium exchange was effected with n-butyllithium in ether at- 70" C, and the intermediate lithiopyridines were trapped with the appropriate cinnam- ...
