Abstract

An efficient and convenient synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines involves a palladium-catalyzed addition of hydrazides to 2-chloropyridine, which occurs chemoselectively at the terminal nitrogen atom of the hydrazide, followed by dehydration in acetic acid under microwave irradiation.
