• both for the formation of the silyl ethers and from the Pauson-Khand reaction were the corresponding silanols, we wondered if it would be possible to use these compounds for the preparation of our desired ethers via a Mitsunobu reaction. There are examples in the chemical literature in which silanols

• may be used analogously to alcohols in the Mitsunobu reaction.[29] Unfortunately, neither triisopropylsilanol (synthesised by the hydrolysis of commercially available triisopropylsilyl chloride) or diisopropyl(1-methylallyl)-silanol and but-2-enyldiisopropylsilanol gave any product and quantitative

• at the Mitsunobu reaction between pyridinol 2 and alcohol 3, utilizing a modification of the conditions originally reported by Mitsunobu,[18] afforded pyridyl ether 4 in 54% yield (Scheme 1). Interestingly, the reaction did not reach completion and pyridinol 2 was recovered, despite the fact that it

• Information File 1 and Supporting Information File 2]. With the above result in hand, we then pursued a variety of targets by performing the modified Mitsunobu reaction of 2 and a variety of primary alcohols (Table 1). In general, a variety of diverse alcohols afforded the expected products in excellent yield

• modified Mitsunobu coupling of pyridinols and alcohols proved to be versatile, efficient and amenable to parallel synthesis. A full account of the medicinal chemistry of these compounds will be given elsewhere. Thiazolidine-2,4-dione mimic & chosen lead scaffold. Proposed mechanism of the Mitsunobu

• ] although the reducing agent still approaches the ketone from a pseudo-axial direction, the net stereochemical outcome is different (see Figure 6). The configuration of both alcohols in the bis-allylic alcohols trans-27 and cis-27 was cleanly inverted using a Mitsunobu reaction, and the resulting diesters
