A general synthesis of halo-oligopyridines. The Garlanding concept

This paper sets forth a global synthetic strategy based on the Garlanding concept to design and to produce halo-oligopyridines. This strategy allows to prepare an infinite number of these new compounds and hence to create a library of halo-oligopyridines. This article is focused on the basic principle of the Garlanding concept and on the demonstration of its feasibility. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
