Synthesis of 4-Amino-3-pyridinyl and 4-Amino-5-pyrimidinyl Aryl Ketones and Related Compoundsviaanortho-Lithiation Reaction

Abstract
4-Chloropyridine and 4,6-dïchloropyrimidine react regioselectively with lithium diisopropylamide to give 4-chloro-3-lithiopyridine and 4,6-dichloro-5-lithiopyrimidine, respectively. These intermediates react with benzaldehydes to give (4-chloro-3-pyridinyl) and 4,6-dichloro-5-pyrimidinyl)-arylmethanols which are oxidized to the corresponding ketones by chromium(VI) oxide in acetone. These compounds ran be nucleophilically substituted with ammonia or primary amines to give 4-amino-3-aroylpyridines or amino-5-aroylpyridines. The 3 aroyl-4-chloropyridines can also be easily converted into 3-aroyl-4(1H)-pyridinones.
