Homoleptic lithium tri- and tetraalkyl zincates were reacted with a set of bromopyridines. Efficient and chemoselective bromine-metal exchanges were realized at room temperature with a substoichiometric amount of nBu 4ZnLi2·TMEDA reagent (1/3 equiv; TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine). This reactivity contrasted with that of tBu4ZnLi2·TMEDA, which was inefficient below one equivalent. DFT calculations allowed us to rationalize the formation of N...Li stabilized polypyridyl zincates in the reaction. The one-pot difunctionalization of dibromopyridines was also realized using the reagent stoichiometrically. The direct creation of C-Zn bonds in bromopyridines enabled us to perform efficient Negishi-type cross-couplings. Mild zincation! nBu4ZnLi2·TMEDA (in substoichiometric amounts) promoted efficient and chemoselective room-temperature bromine-metal exchange of a range of bromopyridines (see scheme). DFT calculations strongly supported the formation of a stabilized tripyridylzincate, which could be reacted with electrophiles or be directly involved in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

A new method for the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted pyridines is described.Reactions of the N-substituted methanimines 1 with the β-substituted enamines 2 give 1-aza-1,3-butadienes 3a-3i and/or symmetrically 3,5-disubstituted pyridines 4a-c,e-h in moderate to good yields.At reaction temperatures of 150 deg C the azadienes 3 are the predominant products, and the reaction provides a good route to 1-azadienes with no substituent at the 4-position.At reaction temperatures of 200 deg C, and particularly using N-tert-butylmethanimine 1a and p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyst, the principal products are symmetrically 3,5-disubstituted pyridines.The cycloaddition was shown to proceed via the azabutadiene intermediate 3.Reactions of 3 with the enamines 2 lead to unsymmetrically 3,5-disubstituted pyridines.The mechanisms of these cycloadditions are discussed.
