Alkylated pyridines are common in pharmaceuticals, and metal catalysis is frequently used to prepare this motif via Csp<sup>2</sup>-Csp<sup>3</sup> coupling processes. We present a cobalt-catalyzed coupling reaction between pyridine phosphonium salts and alkylzinc reagents that can be applied to complex drug-like fragments and for late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals. The reaction generally proceeds at room temperature, and 4-position pyridine C-H bonds are the precursors in this stra ...[more]
