The synthesis reported here of the shape-persistent macrocycle 9 with two opposing terpyridine units, and with pendant flexible chains for solubility reasons, was achieved by Suzuki cross-coupling of two 'half-cycles', the bisboronic acid ester 7 and its diiodo counterpart 8. Cycle 9 was obtained on a 100 mg scale in a yield of 20%. It was characterized by FAB mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Cycle 9 is the first shape-persistent cycle containing terpyridine units that is larger than cyclosexipyridine. An improved synthesis of the important building block dibromoterpyridine 12 is also presented.
Synthesis of 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridines for modular chemistry

A 0.5-11 g scale synthesis of the 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridines 8 is described. The pyridine units are connected to one another by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. This method allows one to introduce bromo functions and flexible chains at the
