Aluminum Bases for the Highly Chemoselective Preparation of Aryl and Heteroaryl Aluminum Compounds

Abstract: Selective C-H activation with a series of neutral aluminum trisamide bases led to a wide range of polyfunctional aryl and heteroaryl aluminum reagents. Ester and cyano groups are stable under the reaction conditions for this direct alumination, and donor oxygen substituents are efficient directing groups. High metalation regioselectivities were observed with O,S and N,S heterocycles (see example).

“…43 Closely related to this work, Knochel has demonstrated the synthesis of the Fe(II) complex [(TMP)2Fe·4LiCl·2MgCl2], capable of metallating functionalised arenes to undergo subsequent nickel-catalysed cross-couplings with alkyl halides. 44 Despite these insightful studies in organic synthesis, the structure or constitution of the proposed ferrate intermediates has not been forthcoming. In addition, Mulvey has reported structurally well-defined ferrate complex [Na4Fe2(TMP)6(C6H4)], which promote the direct diferration of benzene.…”

“…By combining soft organometallic compounds with alkali (or alkaline-earth metal) additives, bases have been more recently prepared and used to generate functionalized aromatic compounds including heterocycles. 6 Examples are R 2 Zn(TMP)LiÁ(TMEDA) (R = t Bu, Bu; TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidino, TMEDA = N,N,N 0 ,N 0 -tetramethylethylenediamine) (described by the groups of Kondo, Uchiyama, Mulvey, and Hevia), 7 (TMP) 2 ZnÁ2MgCl 2 Á2LiCl 8 and TMPZnClÁLiCl 9 (Knochel), i Bu 3 Al (TMP)Li (Uchiyama and Mulvey), 10 Al(TMP) 3 Á3LiCl (Knochel), 11 (Me 3 SiCH 2 ) 2 Mn(TMP)LiÁTMEDA (Mulvey), 12 and MeCu(TMP)(CN) Li 2 (Uchiyama and Wheatley). 13 We recently accomplished the deproto-metalation of a large range of aromatics including heterocycles using a newly developed lithium-cadmium base, (TMP) 3 CdLi, in situ prepared from CdCl 2 ÁTMEDA and 3 equivalents of LiTMP.…”

“…Through a coordination of the BF 3 group at the Nheterocyclic nitrogen the acidity of the pyridyl hydrogens increases, and the deprotonation of even electronrich pyridines such as 2-methoxypyridine (35) proceeds readily. Interestingly, the addition of BF 3 ·OEt may also dramatically change the direction of the deprotonation [42]. Thus, in the absence of this Lewis acid, the metalation of 35 with the aluminum base (tBu(R)N) 3 Al·3LiCl (36; R = tBu(iPr)CH) [42] proceeds in position 3 leading to the ketone 37 in 68 % yield after a copper-catalyzed acylation.…”
