title: Exhaustive Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of polyhalogenated heteroarenes with alkyl boronic pinacol esters.
abstract: A novel Suzuki-Miyaura protocol is described that enables the exhaustive alkylation of polychlorinated pyridines. This method facilitates a formal synthesis of normuscopyridine and the rapid assembly of a dumbbell shaped portion of a [2]rotaxane.
