Abstract

Bromine–magnesium exchange using iPrMgCl in THF at room temperature on 2-, 3-and 4- bromopyridines allowed the synthesis of various functionalized pyridines. The methodology was successfully used for the synthesis of 4-azaxanthone. Moreover, single exchange reactions observed on 2, 6-, 3, 5-, 2, 3-and 2, 5-dibromopyridines, with complete regioselectivity in the case of 2, 3-and 2, 5-dibromopyridines, afforded substituted ...
