Synthesis of novel triazolopyridylboronic acids and esters.: Study of potential application to Suzuki-type reactions

This paper describes a general method for the synthesis of novel [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridylboronic acids and esters, and the first results on Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with these new compounds and [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolylboronic acid, reacting with a variety of aryl halides as a route to 7-aryltriazolopyridines and 5-aryltriazoloisoquinolines.
