Abstract

Synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted pyridines from pyridotriazoles through palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative denitrogenative reactions has been described. Denitrogenation of arylated pyridotriazoles generates metal-carbene intermediates in situ and provides selectively 6-aryl-2-benzoylpyridines. The same conditions have been extended to regioselective C-3 and C-8 diarylation of several imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.
