A range of halogenated aromatics and heteroaromatics bearing a primary amine group are shown to be suitable substrates for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acids and pyridylboronic acids under standard conditions, without the need for protection/deprotection steps. New amino-substituted arylpyridines, bipyridines, and pyrazinopyridines have thereby been obtained. Conditions for the efficient syntheses of 2-methoxy-5-pyridylboronic acid 1 and 2-methoxy-3-pyridylboronic acid 2 in ca. 75 g batches have been defined. A 2-fold reaction of 2-amino-5-bromopyrazine with 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzenediboronic acid affords 1,4-dimethoxy-2,5-bis[2-(5-aminopyrazyl)]benzene 31. The X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 31.DMF are reported.
2-Bromo-5-pyridylboronic acid 2a, 2-chloro-5-pyridylboronic acid 2b, 2-methoxy-5-pyridylboronic acid 2c, and 5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-pyridylboronic acid 4 have been synthesized and shown to undergo palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with heteroaryl bromides to yield novel heteroarylpyridine derivatives. The X-ray crystal structures of 2a and 2b have been obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
