Abstract
The previously unknown 2-, 3-, and 4-(trifluoromethoxy)pyridines have now become readily accessible by means of an efficient and straightforward large-scale synthesis. Their regioselective functionalization by organometallic methods has been studied and has afforded new and highly important building blocks for life-sciences-oriented research. In addition, the first X-ray crystallographic structure determinations of (trifluoromethoxy)pyridines have been performed. Lowest-energy conformations of (trifluoromethoxy)pyridines and (trifluoromethoxy)pyridinium cations were determined by in silico studies.
