Polyhalogenoaromatic compounds. Part 39. Synthesis of the bromoand lodo-tetrachloropyridines
Abstract
Nucleophilic substitution of pentachloropyridine by bromide or iodide is an unsatisfactory route to tetrachlorohalogenopyridines. We report syntheses of all the bromotetrachloropyridines and tetrachloroiodopyridines via the corresponding pyridylhydrazines or pyridyl-lithium or -magnesium derivatives.
