Amination reactions of 2,6-dibromopyridine with a variety of
halogenated anilines were achieved thermally when 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine
was employed as an auxiliary base. The solvent-free thermal conversion
was superior to palladium-catalyzed transformations of such substrates
since no high-molecular-weight byproducts were observed.
