Grignard reagents, and

It should be noted that Grignard reagents obtained from 2-methylthiazole do not yield acetyl derivatives (31). Ketones can also be obtained from cyanothiazoles and Grignard reagents (87). Thus phenyl magnesium bromide and 5-cyanothiazole give phenyl 5-thiazolyl ketone (Scheme 35).

Organohthmm compounds and Grignard reagents are strong bases and react instantly with compounds that have —OH groups... 

In the reaction of aHyl alcohol and Grignard reagent with [P(CgH )2]2-NiCl2 the catalyst, formation of the carbon—carbon bond proceeds at a high yield (22). 

Alkyl- and aryl-pyridazines can be prepared by cross-coupling reactions between chloropyridazines and Grignard reagents in the presence of nickel-phosphine complexes as catalysts. Dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]nickel is used for alkylation and dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]nickel for arylation (78CPB2550). 3-Alkynyl-pyridazines and their A-oxides are prepared from 3-chloropyridazines and their A-oxides and alkynes using a Pd(PPh3)Cl2-Cu complex and triethylamine (78H(9)1397). 

Isopyrazole quaternary salts (363) are key intermediates leading to the highly substituted A -pyrazolines. Lithium aluminum hydride gives the pentasubstituted derivatives (364 R = H) and Grignard reagents provide access to the fully substituted A -pyrazolines (364 R H) (68BSF3866, 70BSF1121). 

CH2=C(OBn)(CH3), POCI3 or TsOH, 61-98% yield. It should be noted that these conditions do not afford a cyclic acetal with a 1,3-diol. This ketal is stable to LiAlH4, diisobutylaluminum hydride, NaOH, alkyllithiums, and Grignard reagents. 

Baeyer and Piccard were the first to prepare crystalline monocyclic pyrylium salts without hydroxy or alkoxy substituents, from y-pyrones and Grignard reagents in 1911. They ascribed a correct structure to these salts, although the bonds in the ring and the valency of the oxygen heteroatom remained contested topics for the next 20 years. The discussions around the formula of pyrylium... 

In contrast to the extraordinarily high preference for endo attack observed with camphor (1), nucleophilic additions of organolithium and Grignard reagents to norcamphor (3) proceed with exclusive attack of the nucleophile from the exo face of the carbonyl group. 

Thiazolinc 2 proves to be inert to organometallic attack. However, addition of organolithium and Grignard reagents to the C —N double bond of 2 can easily be achieved by previous activation with boron trifluoridc, providing /r[Pg.696]

Enantiomerically pure alkylboranes arc known to be excellent reagents for asymmetric reduction but they can also be used to generate enantiomerically pure /V-borylimines by partial reduction of nitriles. Addition of organolithium and Grignard reagents to these compounds affords secondary carbinamines in moderate to good yield but low enantioselectivity13,14. The best results reported so far are shown below.
