A concise 4-step synthesis of furo[2,3-<i>b</i>]pyridines, with handles in the 3- and 5-positions for palladium mediated cross-coupling reactions, is described. The synthetic route has been optimized, with only one step requiring purification by column chromatography. The route is amenable to scale-up, and was successfully executed on a multi-gram scale. Furopyridines are of growing interest in medicinal chemistry, and this route should enable easy access to the core for structure-activity relat ...[more]
