- Multi-substituted heterocycles
-
Pentafluoropyridine was used as the starting material for the preparation of a range of pyridine derivatives that bear five different substituents. In this context, syntheses of penta-functional pyridine systems by sequences of nucleophilic aromatic substitution, palladium catalysed coupling and bromo-lithiation processes are described.

Reductive replacement of fluorine in 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoropyridine 2a and pentafluoropyridine 2 using DIBAL and LAH leads to useful syntheses of fluoro and chlorofluoro pyridine derivatives. Replacement of fluorine by bromine using a mixture of HBr and AlBr3 is extremely efficient, giving excellent routes to 2,4,6-tribromo-3,5-difluoropyridine 3. Bromofluoro-pyrimidine and -quinoxaline derivatives have also been efficiently synthesised from perfluorinated precursors. Catalytic hydrogenation of bromofluoro heterocycles gives high yields of the corresponding fluorinated heterocycles. Reactions of nucleophiles with 3 gives surprising results. Soft nucleophiles, e.g. PhSNa displace bromine whereas hard nucleophiles, e.g. MeONa, displace fluorine. British Crown Copyright 1998, Defence Evaluation and Research Agency.
