2,4-Difluoropyridine, 2,4-dichloropyridine, 2,4,6-trifluoropyridine, 2,4,6-trichloropyridine and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine react with standard nucleophiles exclusively at the 4-position under halogen displacement. However, the regioselectivity can be completely reversed if a trialkylsilyl group is introduced in the 5-position of the 2,4-dihalopyridines or in the 3-position of the 2,4,6-trihalopyridines or 2,3,4,6-tetrahalopyridine. Then only the halogen most remote from the bulky silyl unit (at the 2-position in the case of the 2,4-halopyridines, at the 6-position with the other substrates) gets involved in the exchange process. After removal of the silyl protective group the nucleophile is invariably found to occupy the nitrogen-neighboring position.
Rerouting Nucleophilic Substitution from the 4-Position to the 2- or 6-Position of 2,4-Dihalopyridines and 2,4,6-Trihalopyridines: The Solution to a Long-Standing Problem

2,4-Difluoro-, 2,4,6-trifluoro-, and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine undergo nucleophilic substitution preferentially if not exclusively at the 4-position. However, after the introduction of a trialkylsilyl group at C-3 or C-5, the halogen at the 6-(2-)position is displaced selectively. This synthetically valuable regiocontrol can also be realized with other halopyridines such as 2,4-dichloro- and 2,4,6-trichloropyridine.
