Abstract
Lithiation of 3,5-dibromopyridine with LDA and subsequent reaction with electrophiles provided 4-alkyl-3,5-dibromopyridines 2 in high yield. 3-Bromo-4,5-dialkylpyridines 3 were synthesized by metal-halogen exchange of 2 with one equivalent n-BuLi and reaction with a second electrophile. Further metal-halogen exchange of 3 and reaction with a third electrophile provided 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines 4.
