Dipyrido uronium salts can readily be synthesized by alkylation of dipyrido ureas with Meerwein's reagent. Compared to the corresponding ureas, the uronium salts are more reactive towards basic or reducing agents like metal hydrides. Reactivity studies show that the uronium salts can react as alkylating agents towards DMSO, DBU and NaOEt along with release of the respective dipyrido ureas. In contrast, reduction of the dipyrido uronium salts with sodium borohydride or sodium trimethoxyborohydride in dry and degassed acetonitrile leads to the imidazolium salts 7a and 7b in moderate yields. Analysis of the by-products reveals an in situ carbene formation which can be reversed by using degassed but wet acetonitrile as solvent. The yield of 7b was increased significantly by these means.

2,2′-Bipyridyls have been utilized as indispensable ligands in metal-catalyzed reactions. The most streamlined approach for the synthesis of 2,2′-bipyridyls is the dehydrogenative dimerization of unfunctionalized pyridine. Herein, we report on the palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative synthesis of 2,2′-bipyridyl derivatives. The Pd catalysis effectively works with an AgI salt as the oxidant in the presence of pivalic acid. A variety of pyridines regioselectively react at the C2-positions. This dimerization method is applicable for challenging substrates such as sterically hindered 3-substituted pyridines, where the pyridines regioselectively react at the C2-position. This reaction enables the concise synthesis of twisted 3,3′-disubstituted-2,2′-bipyridyls as an underdeveloped class of ligands.

The reaction of [(DippNacnac)Mg(TMP)] (1) with 4-subtituted pyridines proceeds via sequential regioselective metallation and 1,2-addition to furnish a range of symmetric 4,4′-R2-2,2′-bipyridines in good yield, representing a new entry into bipyridine synthesis. Interestingly, the reaction of 1 with 2-OMe-pyridine led to formation of asymmetric bipyridine 6, resulting from the C6-magnesiation of the heterocycle followed by a C?C coupling step by addition to the C2 position of a second, non-metallated molecule, and subsequent elimination of [DippNacnacMgOMe]2 (7). Synthesis combined with spectroscopic and structural analysis help rationalise the underlying processes resulting in the observed reactivity, and elucidate the key role that the sterically encumbered β-diketiminate ligand plays in determining regioselectivity.

The dehydrogenative coupling of 4-substituted pyridines catalyzed by a heterometallic trinuclear complex composed of Ru and Co, (Cp?Ru)2(Cp?Co)(μ-H)3(μ3-H) (1, Cp? = η5-C5Me5), was investigated. When the pyridine substrate contains an electron-donating group at the 4-position, complex 1 showed a high catalytic activity compared to di- and triruthenium complexes (Cp?Ru)2(μ-H)4 (4) and (Cp?Ru)3(μ-H)3(μ3-H)2 (5). The catalytic activity of 1 was also remarkably higher than the congeners of other group 9 metals, Ru2Rh (2) and Ru2Ir analogues (3). The distinctive reactivity of 1 was attributed to a paramagnetic intermediate, (Cp?Ru)2{(dmbpy)Co}(μ-H)(μ3-H)2 (12, dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), which was formed by the reaction of 1 with 4-picoline accompanied by the dissociation of the Cp? at the Co atom. The reaction of 12 with unsubstituted pyridine resulted in the elimination of 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, indicating that the Co atom in 12 acts as a dissociation site. In contrast to the reaction of 1 with 4-picoline, the reaction of 2 and 3 with 4-picoline afforded the corresponding μ3-pyridyl complexes (Cp?Ru)2(Cp?M)(μ-H)3(μ3-η2(||)-C5H3NCH3) (15, M = Rh; 16, M = Ir). 4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyridine was not dimerized by 1; however, a similar μ3-pyridyl complex, (Cp?Ru)2(Cp?Co)(μ-H)3(μ3-η2(||)-C5H3NCF3) (13), was obtained. The stability of the μ3-pyridyl complex is probably one of the reasons for the low catalytic activity of 2 and 3 in the coupling reaction.
