In an alternative approach to the synthesis of pyridine-substituted pyridyl diazaspiroalkanes, 3,5-dibromopyridine can be converted into the corresponding 5-alkoxy-3-bromo- and 5-aryloxy-3-bromopyridines by the action of sodium alkoxides or sodium aryloxides. Procedures such as those described by Comins et al., J. Org. Chem. 55: 69 (1990) and Hertog et al., Recueil Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas 74: 1171 (1955) are used. This is exemplified by the preparation 7-(5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane. Reaction of 3,5-dibromopyridine with sodium 4-methoxyphenoxide in N,N-dimethylformamide gives 3-bromo-5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine. Coupling of 3-bromo-5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)pyridine with 1-benzyl-7-(3-pyridyl)-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide, and a catalytic amount of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl, in toluene, followed by hydrogenolysis of the benzyl protecting group, will provide 7-(5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-3-pyridyl)-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane.
