The first Pd-catalyzed alkylation of (iso)quinolines and arenes is reported. The readily available and bench-stable 2-acylpyridine compounds were used as an alkylation reagent to form the structurally versatile alkylated (iso)quinolines and arenes. The method affords a convenient pathway for the introduction of alkyl groups into organic molecules.

Direct preparation of 2-pyridylzinc bromide has been developed. Interestingly, the subsequent coupling reactions with acid chlorides have been carried out without any transition metal catalyst. 2-Pyridylaryl compounds, symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,2′-bipyridines were also successfully obtained from palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of 2-pyridylzinc bromide under mild conditions.

A facile synthetic approach to the direct preparation of 2-pyridyl and 3-pyridylzinc bromides has been demonstrated usingRieke zinc with 2-bromopyridine and 3-bromopyridine, respectively. A variety of different electrophiles have been coupled with the resulting organozinc reagents to give the corresponding cross-coupling products in moderate to good yields.

An unprecedented reaction mode of cyanogenbromide has been discovered. Under basic conditions, cyanogenbromide acts as an equivalent of both Br+ and CN− to convert enolizable ketones into the corresponding cyanoepoxides in good yields. This unique reaction mode provides new, one‐pot access to densely substituted cyanoepoxides from easily available ketones (see scheme).
