A highly efficient synthesis of 4-benzylpyridines was developed via Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation between 4-picoline and aryl halides. It was found that the best yields were achieved with a simple Pd(PPh3)4 catalyst and Cs2CO3 as the base. Compared with the known methods, our reaction does not require the use of a strong organometallic reagent as the base.

Either ZnCl2, Sc(OTf)3, or BF3OEt 2 can promote the palladium-catalyzed arylation of methylpyridines and related heterocycles (see example). The complexation of the Lewis acid to the nitrogen atom in the heteroc
Flexible N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine analogues: Synthesis and monoamine oxidase catalyzed bioactivation

Eighteen analogues of N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were synthesized and evaluated as substrates of monoamine oxidase. In general, the flexible analogues, characterized by the presence of a methylene (or ethylene) bridge between the aryl/heteroaryl and tetrahydropyridyl moieties, were better substrates of the enzyme than the conformationally restricted MPTP. It is suggested that the increased oxidative activity of these flexible analogues reflects enhanced binding due to the ability of the C-4-aryl/heteroaryl substituent to gain access to a hydrophobic pocket within the substrate binding site.
