Abstract
By stepwise and regioselective installation of functional groups, we have synthesized and characterized two pyridines, 3-fluoro-5-iodo-2-(methylthio)-6-(trimethylsilyl)isonicotinonitrile and 3-fluoro-5-iodo-2-methoxy-6-(trimethylsilyl)isonicotinonitrile, substituted with five different elements, not including hydrogen, using known and newly developed methods. Novel methodology for dehalocyanation of iodopyridines and rapid, high-yielding microwave-assisted acidic hydrolysis of 2-fluoropyridines to their corresponding 2-pyridones are disclosed.
