• challenge. In this context, a regioselective alkylation of ortho-unsubstituted or substituted unactivated pyridines with acrylates and acrylamides under Rh(I) catalysis has been demonstrated by Ellman and co-workers [59]. The authors observed that in the presence of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 as catalyst, dppe as ligand

• electrophile under conditions A (Table 6, entry 8) furnished the desired N-1 regioisomer 75 in very good isolated yield (81%). These latter results would suggest that secondary alkyl tosylates are more suitable than their corresponding halide counterparts, for N-1 regioselective alkylation, under these

• phosphonate (11) was condensed with paraformaldehyde in the presence of catalytic triethylamine (Scheme 2) [41]. Iodide 9 was accessed in two steps from adenine (3). The highly regioselective alkylation of adenine (3) with an excess (4.0 equiv) of 1,2-dibromoethane furnished bromide 12 in 78% yield. Despite

These results demonstrated that regioselective alkylation at the two sites were possible. Notably, one diastereomeric
