Transforming LiTMP Lithiation of Challenging Diazines through Gallium Alkyl Trans‐Metal‐Trapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study establishes a new trans-metal-trapping (TMT) procedure based on a mixture of LiTMP (the base) and tris(trimethylsilylmethyl)gallium [Ga(CH2 SiMe3 )3 , GaR3 ] (the trap) that, operating in a tandem manner, is effective for the regioselective deprotonation of sensitive diazines in hydrocarbon solution, as illustrated through reactions of pyrazine, pyridazine, and pyrimidine, as well as through the N-S heterocycle benzothiazole. The metallo-activated complexes of all of these compounds were isolated and structurally defined.

Merging two topical themes in main-group chemistry, namely, cooperative bimetallics and frustrated-Lewis-pair (FLP) activity, this Forum Article focuses on the cooperativity-induced outcomes observed when the tris(alkyl)gallium compound GaR3 (R = CH2SiMe3) is paired with the lithium amide LiTMP (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) or the sterically hindered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) 1,3-bis...
متن کاملLiTMP Trans‐Metal‐Trapping of Fluorinated Aromatic Molecules: A Comparative Study of Aluminum and Gallium Carbanion Traps
Fluoroaromatic scaffolds pose a challenge to lithiation due to low stability of lithiated intermediates. Here we apply trans-metal-trapping (TMT) to a series of key fluorinated aromatics. In TMT, LiTMP performs the metalation, while an organometallic trap intercepts the emergent carbanion. This study contrasts the trapping abilities of iBu2 AlTMP and Ga(CH2 SiMe3 )3 , structurally mapping their...

Planar chiral h6-arene chromium(0) complexes are finding increasing application in the synthesis of enantioenriched compounds by serving as enantiopure starting materials or ligands for catalytic asymmetric processes.[1,2] Whereas early methods of generating enantiopure 1,2-disubstituted h6-arene chromium(0) complexes relied on resolution of racemates,[3] many methods have been developed recent...

Pyridines and diazines are critical structural elements in many biologically active small molecules and, as a result, signicant research effort has been devoted to their preparation. In addition to de novo heterocycle assembly, a number of powerful methods exist for the functionalization of these heteroarenes. For example, Minisci radical addition is a direct and effective synthetic approach t...
متن کاملSynthetically important alkali-metal utility amides: lithium, sodium, and potassium hexamethyldisilazides, diisopropylamides, and tetramethylpiperidides.
Most synthetic chemists will have at some point utilized a sterically demanding secondary amide (R2 N(-) ). The three most important examples, lithium 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS), lithium diisopropylamide (LiDA), and lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP)-the "utility amides"-have long been indispensible particularly for lithiation (Li-H exchange) reactions. Like organolith...
