Regioselective ortho lithiation of 2-, 3-, and 4-halopyridines is achieved with lithium diisopropylamide (−78°, tetrahydrofuran) to afford, upon quenching with electrophilic reagents, 2,3- and 3,4-disubstituted pyridines in good to excellent yield. ... This effectively separates the chloroiodopyridines ...
