“…The hydrocarbon-soluble magnesium amide TMP 2 Mg (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl) shows excellent properties for the regioselective magnesiation of five-membered heterocycles such as imidazoles, benzoxazoles, benzofurane, and benzothiophene derivatives [27]. Imidazole and indole can be regarded as 1,3-dideaza and 1,3,7-trideaza purine.…”
