: A new synthesis of the 2,6-naphthyridine alkaloid 4-methyl-2,6-naphthyridine from Antirrhinum majus has been developed. Key steps are a regioselective oxidation of 3-bromo-4,5- dimethylpyridine to the corresponding 4-formyl derivative, and the annulation of the second pyridine ring by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling using (E)-2-ethoxyvinylboronic acid pinacol ester as a masked acetaldehyde equivalent. This protocol gives the alkaloid in four steps starting from commercially available 3,4-dimethylpyridine in 15% overall yield. This annulation protocol should be useful for the synthesis of other condensed pyridines as well.

Publications covering a new easy metal-free functionalization of pyridinoids (pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, acridine) under the action of the system of electron-deficient acetylenes (acetylenecarboxylic acid esters, acylacetylenes)/P-nucleophiles (phosphine chalcogenides, H-phosphonates) are reviewed. Special attention is focused on a SNH reaction of the regioselective cross-coupling of pyridines with secondary phosphine chalcogenides triggered by acylacetylenes to give 4-chalcogenophosphorylpyridines. In these processes, acetylenes act as three-modal adjuvants (i) activating the pyridine ring towards P-nucleophiles, (ii) deprotonating the P-H bond and (iii) facilitating the nucleophilic addition of the P-centered anion to a heterocyclic moiety followed by the release of the selectively reduced acetylenes (E-alkenes).

A new synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidines and isoxazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines is described. Key steps in the synthesis involve Stille coupling of 4,6-dichloro-2-phenyl-pyrimidine with tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)stannane and tandem Schiff-base formation/heterocyclization of 2,6-di-aryl-5-fluoro-4-acetylpyrimidine with hydrazines or ­hydroxylamine to give pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidines and isoxazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines, respectively. The position of the fluoro group in the ­pyrimidine ring is important for the success of heterocylization reaction.

A novel, concise, and efficient enantioselective synthesis of (S)-preclamol (87% ee, 51% total yield) has been developed. The key steps of this synthetic approach included cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric catalytic cross-coupling of α-bromo ester with arylzinc and the reduction of chiral ester to diol with a tertiary carbon atom. Moreover, it was demonstrated that our enantioselective Negishi cross-coupling was a powerful tool to construct stereogenic benzylmethyl center in chiral drugs on a gram scale.
