Abstract2‐Arylpyridines are an important class of ligands for the synthesis of complexes with physical properties. We observed that the use of 3‐, 4‐ or 5‐bromo‐2‐chloropyridines allows the synthesis of a wide variety of heteroarylated 2‐arylpyridines by means of successive direct arylation and Suzuki coupling. For these two reactions, an air‐stable catalyst associated to a cheap and nontoxic base was employed as the catalyst. Moreover, a wide range of heteroarenes and functionalised arylboronic acids could be tolerated.
