Pyridyl Grignard reagents were prepared from the corresponding iodopyridine and EtMgBr. New cross coupling reactions of the Grignard reagents with azaheterocycles took place on the sulfinyl sulfur atom to afford biazaheteroaryls.
3-,4-Pyridyl and 4-quinolyl Grignardreagents were generated by the reaction of the corresponding phenyl sulfoxides with PhMgBr and give the adducts upon treatment with various aldehydes and ketones. The stereochemistry for the reaction was investigated.
