Structurally-defined potassium-mediated regioselective zincation of amino- and alkoxy-substituted pyridines.
The new synergic base [PMDETA.K(TMP)(Et)Zn(Et)] selectively zincates 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine at the 2-position and 4-methoxypyridine at the 3-position, to afford bimetallic potassium pyridylzinc complexes each displaying a novel, but remarkably different, structure.
