(Chemical Equation Presented) 2,4-Difluoropyridine, 2,4-dichloropyridine, 2,4,6-trifluoropyridine, 2,4,6-trichloropyridine and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine react with standard nucleophiles exclusively at the 4-position under halogen displacement. However, the regioselectivity can be completely reversed if a trialkylsilyl group is introduced in the 5-position of the 2,4-dihalopyridines or in the 3-position of the 2,4,6-trihalopyridines or 2,3,4,6-tetrahalopyridine. Then only the halogen most remote from the bulky silyl unit (at the 2-position in the case of the 2,4-halopyridines, at the 6-position with the other substrates) gets involved in the exchange process. After removal of the silyl protective group the nucleophile is invariably found to occupy the nitrogen-neighboring position.
Removal of fluorine from and introduction of fluorine into polyhalopyridines: An exercise in nucleophilic hetarenic substitution

Starting from six industrially available fluorinated pyridines, an expedient access to all three tetrafluoropyridines (2-4), all six trifluoropyridines (5-10), and the five non-commercial difluoropyridines (11-14 and 16) was developed. The methods employed for the selective removal of fluorine from polyfluoropyridines were the reduction by metals or complex hydrides and the site-selective replacement by hydrazine followed by dehydrogenation-dediazotation or dehydrochlorination-dediazotation. To introduce an extra fluorine atom, a suitable precursor was metalated and chlorinated before being subjected to a chlorine/ fluorine displacement process.
