Abstract

A convenient route for the synthesis of a variety of amino-bispyridyl compounds is introduced. Bispyridylamines were prepared in three steps from commercially available 2, 6- dibromopyridine, via a copper mediated alkylation followed by two consecutive N-arylation reactions catalyzed by copper and palladium, respectively.
