The sequential functionalisation of 2-phenylpyridine is presented using selective ortho- and meta-directing processes. It was found that performing a reaction sequence with meta functionalisation first followed by ortho functionalisation provided novel reaction products in good yields and with complete regioselectivity.

A selective catalytic meta sulfonation of 2-phenylpyridines was found to occur in the presence of (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes upon reaction with sulfonyl chlorides. The 2-pyridyl group facilitates the formation of a stable Ru-Caryl σ bond that induces a strong para-directing effect. Electrophilic aromatic substitution proceeds with the sulfonyl chloride to furnish a sulfone at the position meta to the chelating group. This new catalytic process offers access to atypical regioselectivity for reactions involving chelation-assisted cyclometalation.
