ortho-Metalation of Unprotected 3-Bromo and 3-Chlorobenzoic Acids with Hindered Lithium Dialkylamides
摘要:
Upon treatment of 3-chloro/bromobenzoic acids with hindered lithium dialkylamides (LDA or LTMP) at -50 degreesC, lithium 3-chloroibromo-2-lithiobenzoates are generated. These dianions can be trapped as such to afford after electrophilic quenching a variety of simple 2-substituted-3-chlorolbromobenzoic acids. The 3-bromo-2-lithiobenzoate is less stable than the corresponding 3-chloro derivative and partly eliminates lithium bromide, thus setting free lithium 2,3- and 3,4-dehydrobenzoates that can be intercepted in situ with the hindered base.

The First Regioselective Metalation and Functionalization of Unprotected 4-Halobenzoic Acids
By treatment with s-BuLi, s-BuLi/TMEDA, or t-BuLi at similar to-78 degreesC, 4-fluoro- and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (1a,b) are metalated preferentially in the position adjacent to the carboxylate. A complete reversal in regioselectivity is observed for 1a when treated with LTMP; a sequential process involving a rapid intraaggregate lithiation through a quasi dianion complex "QUADAC" is postulated to explain the unusual reactivity of Me2S2 and I-2.
