Facile Synthesis and Characterization of a Bromine-Substituted (Chloromethyl)Pyridine Precursor towards the Immobilization of Biomimetic Metal Ion Chelates on Functionalized Carbons
Multidentate ligands involving tethered pyridyl groups coordinated to transition metal ions have been frequently used to mimic the 3-histidine (3H), 2-histidine-1-carboxylate (2H1C) brace motifs or other combinations of histidine and carboxylate endogenous ligating residues found in bioinorganic met...

Multidentate ligands involving tethered pyridyl groups coordinated to transition metal ions have been frequently used to mimic the 3-histidine (3H), 2-histidine-1-carboxylate (2H1C) brace motifs or other combinations of histidine and carboxylate endogenous ligating residues found in bioinorganic metalloenzymes. It is of interest to immobilize these ligand chelates onto heterogeneous supports. This, however, requires the use of bromine-substituted (chloromethyl)pyridines, whose current synthetic routes involve the use of extremely pyrophoric chemicals, such as <i>n</i>-butyllithium that require cryogenic reaction conditions, and toxic chemicals, such as thionyl chloride, that are challenging to handle and require extensive hazard controls. Herein, we report alternative methodologies towards the syntheses of 2-bromo-6-hydroxymethylpyridine and 2-bromo-6-chloromethylpyridine from inexpensive commercially available 2,6-dibromopyridine using isopropylmagnesium chloride lithium chloride complex (Turbo Grignard) and cyanuric chloride which are easier to handle and require milder reaction conditions than the conventional reagents.
