Abstract
[reaction: see text] The 5-bromopyridyl-2-magnesium chloride (2), which was not accessible previously, was efficiently synthesized for the first time via an iodo-magnesium exchange reaction with 5-bromo-2-iodopyridine (1). This reactive intermediate was allowed to react with a variety of electrophiles to afford a range of useful functionalized pyridine derivatives. Application of this methodology to 5-bromo-2-iodo-3-picoline provided a simple and economical synthesis of a key intermediate for the preparation of Lonafarnib, a potent anticancer agent.
