“…Our synthetic strategy to most desired 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines involved S N Ar displacement of the 4-chloro substituent in either 3,4,5-trichloropyridine (10) or 3-bromo-4,5-dichloropyridine (11) using the appropriate N-bocprotected pyrrolidine 12, piperidine 13, or NH-piperidine 14 to give the 4-substituted analogues 9, 15−22, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 57, and 84 according to our previously published methodology. 31 Subsequent palladium-mediated cross-coupling of appropriate aryl boronic acids or esters gave the corresponding 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines 26, 28−38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, and 65−81 (Scheme 1). Compounds 59, 60, and 62 described in Table 5 were prepared by sequential cross-coupling at the 3-and 5-positions of 8-(3bromo-5-chloropyridin-4-yl)-2,8-diazaspiro [4.5]decan-1-one (57).…”
