title: 5'-substituted-6-carboxylic-2,2'-bipyridine acid: a pivotal architecton for building preorganized ligands.
abstract: A set of ligands bearing 6-bromo-2,2'-bipyridine pendant arms attached in the 5'-position are described. Transformation of the bromo to an ester was performed by a carboethoxylation reaction promoted by low-valent Pd(0), while saponification followed by acidification gave the acids. The introduction of an appended function 3-nitrobenzyl, benzamidomethyl, and tert-butylacetyl opens the way to further functionalize these scaffolds for potential labeling of biological material. The synthetic protocols represent a valuable approach to the rational design of ligands bearing oxophilic and anionic sidearms.
