Functionalisation of 2-methoxy-6-methylpyridine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408011740

Selective bromination of 2-methoxy-6-methylpyridine 2 afforded 5-bromo-2- methoxy-6-methylpyridine 8. Deprotonation of this pyridine derivative in benzylic position or lithium-bromine exchange allowed the regio-selective introduction of various electrophiles.
