✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of 5%-methyl-2,2%-bipyridine-6-carboxylic acid is described starting from the pivotal 5%-methyl-6-bromo-2,2%-bipyridine building block. Functionalisation of the latest at the 5%-methyl position gives access to the 5%-bromomethyl, 5%-hydroxymethyl and 5%-aminomethyl derivatives. Upon nucleophilic substitution, the hydroxy and amino derivatives react with the 5%-bromomethyl compound to give quasi-linear and podand type intermediates. Thanks to a carboalkoxylation reaction at the 6-bromo position of the different intermediates, followed by a saponification reaction, mono-, bis-and tris-tridentate ligands are obtained, which are particularly well suited for the complexation of lanthanide(III) cations.
