Abstract
The chlorination and bromination of α-lithiopyridine 1-oxides has been studied. Only dihalogenated pyridine 1-oxides are formed. In the case of bromination dipyridyl derivatives are also formed, and, indeed, predominate. Chloromercuration of the lithiopyridine 1-oxides gave highly insoluble, unresolvable mixtures of pyridylmercury derivatives. These could be brominated readily to give mixtures of 2-bromo- and 2,6-dibromopyridine 1-oxides.
