2,4,6‐Triazido‐3,5‐dibromopyridine reacts with an equimolar amount of triethyl phosphite in ether at room temperature chemoselectively on the γ‐azido group to form 2,6‐diazido‐3,5‐dibromo‐4‐triethoxyphosphoriminopyridine as a single product. The latter adds another molecule of triethyl phosphite to give a mixture of 6‐azido‐2,4‐bis(triethoxyphosphorimino)‐3,5‐dibromopyridine and its tetrazolo[1,5‐ a ]pyridine isomer, the acidic hydrolysis of which affords 6‐azido‐2,4‐bis(diethoxyphosphoramino)‐3,5‐dibromopyridine. The study shows that the Staudinger‐phosphite reactions with heterocyclic polyazides occur selectively on the most electron‐deficient azido groups, opening up new prospects for preparation of new polyfunctional heterocyclic compounds.
