- Deprotonative metalation of aromatic compounds by using an amino-based lithium cuprate
-
Deprotonative cupration of aromatic compounds by using amino-based lithium cuprates was optimized with 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine and 2-methoxypyridine as the substrates and benzoyl chloride as the electrophile. [(tmp)2CuLi] (+2 LiCl) (tmp=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino) was identified as the best reagent and its use was extended to anisole, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, other substituted pyridines, furan, thiophene and derivatives, and N-Boc-indole (Boc=tert-butyloxycarbonyl). Of the electrophiles employed to attempt the interception of the generated aryl cuprates, aroyl chlorides, iodomethane, and diphenyl disulfide efficiently reacted. In addition, different oxidative agents were identified to afford symmetrical biaryls. Finally, palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl halides was optimized and allowed the synthesis of different aryl derivatives in medium to good yields.

- New Gilman-type lithium cuprate from a copper(II) salt: synthesis and deprotonative cupration of aromatics
-
Deprotonative cupration of aromatics including heterocycles (anisole, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, thiophene, furan, 2-fluoropyridine, 2-chloropyridine, 2-bromopyridine, and 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine) was realized in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature using the Gilman-type amido-cuprate (TMP)2CuLi in situ prepared from CuCl2·TMEDA through successive addition of 1 equiv of butyllithium and 2 equiv of LiTMP. The intermediate lithium (hetero)arylcuprates were evidenced by trapping with iodine, allyl bromide, methyl iodide, and benzoyl chlorides, the latter giving the best results. Symmetrical dimers were also prepared from lithium azine and diazine cuprates using nitrobenzene as an oxidative agent.
