Arylmagnesium halides, reaction with

Alkyl and arylmagnesium halides react with 2-methylquinoxaline by addition of one mole of reactant to the 3,4-bond. After hydrolysis the 2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-l,2-dihydro-3-methylquinoxalines (52) are obtained. When ethylmagnesium bromide is used a dimeric by-product (53) is also isolatedReaction of 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline with benzonitrile and lithium amide gives l-amino-l-phenyl-2-(3-methyl-2-quinoxalinyl)-ethylene (54). The mono- and dilithium salts of 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline have been generated from the quinoxaline by reaction with one or two equivalents of lithium diisopropylamide (LiNPr, respectively. These salts have been reacted with a variety of electrophilic reagents such as alkyl halides, aryl ketones, esters, and nitriles. " ... 

Formation of aryl Grignard reagents (Section 14 4) Aryl halides react with magnesium to form the corresponding arylmagnesium halide Aryl iodides are the most reac tive aryl fluorides the least A similar reaction occurs with lithium to give aryllithium reagents (Section 14 3)... 

By reaction with the appropropriate aryl halides can be prepared a variety of aryltin compounds that are not accessible from the reactions involving arylmagnesium halides and organotin halides (88,89) there is evidence that an aryne intermediate may be involved (90). However, for some purposes, such as the addition to carbonyl compounds, ox-iranes, and oxetanes, to give hydroxyalkyltin compounds, the Sn-Mg reagents may have advantages (see Section II,E) (91-93). 

Cross-coupling of arylmagnesium halides with fluorodiazines has been studied by Queguiner. Nickel catalysts were used for this Kumada-type process. The reactions work at room temperature in THE. Only one example on a 1,2-diazine core was studied, namely the coupling of 3-fluoro-6-phenylpyridazine with 4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide <2002JOC8991>. 

Treatment of 148 <2002EJ0113> with TMSBt resulted in the formation of the 10/ -bromide 149 (not isolated) and subsequent reaction with arylmagnesium halides gave the (7-aryl glycosides 150 in acceptable yield (Scheme 19 Table 14). It was not possible to suppress formation of the glycal 25 <2003EJ02098>. 

A similar Co-catalyzed reaction with arylmagnesium halides and alkenes 181, bearing a halogen in a suitable position, occurs via a radical intermediate, leading to cyclic acetals 182 (equation 109). ... 

Aryl halides of many different types, including simple unsubstituted halides, may be conveniently converted into phenols by an indirect route involving the preparation of an arylboronic acid and its subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. The arylboronic acid (3) is normally prepared by reaction of the corresponding arylmagnesium halide with a borate ester (typically tributyl borate) at between —60 and — 80 °C, to yield the dialkyl boronate ester (2) which is then hydrolysed to the arylboronic acid (3). The latter may be isolated, purified and then oxidised with hydrogen peroxide as described in the preparation of m-cresol (Expt 6.101). Alternatively the crude reaction mixture from the preparation of (3) may be treated directly with hydrogen peroxide.36... 

With the development of the cross coupling methodology, many 6-C-substituted purines have been prepared in the past decade. Thus, 6 halopurine derivatives react with arylmagnesium halides,25 alkyl(aryl)zinc or tin reagents,26 trialkylaluminum,27 or alkylcuprates28 to give the 6-alkylpurine derivatives. Also a reverse approach based on the reaction of purine-6-zinc iodide with aryl or vinyl halides has recently been described.29 For the synthesis of 6-arylpurines, an alternative approach makes use of radical photochemical reactions of adenine derivatives with aromatic compounds,30 but this method is very unselective and for substituted benzenes, mixtures of ortho-, meta-, and para substituted derivatives were obtained. 

Nitrosoarenes give unstable diaryl hydroxylamines with aryl Grignard reagents, which can be reduced directly to diarylamines.312 Since arylmagnesium halides reduce nitroarenes to nitroso compounds, readily available nitroarenes and nitrohetarenes can be involved in this reaction allowing a simple preparation of polyfunctionalized diaryl- and heteroarylamines (Scheme 108).313... 

Kumada reactions. Polyfunctional pyridines can be prepared by Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of functionalized arylmagnesium halides with chloro- or bromopyridines at temperatures as low as 40 C, e.g., Scheme 114... 

Reactions of organomagnesium compounds with sulfoxides often result in ligand exchange [31], and may be complicated by a- or ortho metallation. However, in some cases, notably with 2-pyridyl aryl sulfoxides, reactions with arylmagnesium halides give useful yields of products from displacement of the aryl sulfoxido group [32, 33], e.g. [32]... 

Attempts to isolate 1-cyclopentadienyl-, 1-phenylethynyl-, and 1-alkyl-2,4,6-triphenyl-thiabenzenes by reaction of 9 with alkyllithiums or Grig-nard reagents have been unsuccessful and only IH- and/or 4//-thiopyrans have been obtained. However, a transient intense coloration of the reaction solutions has been taken as evidence that the primary nucleophilic attack is at the sulfur atom (62JA2090 71JOC791). Contrarily to aryllithi-ums, arylmagnesium halides do not allow the isolation of thiabenzenes but only of 2H- and 4//-thiopyran adducts (72JOC1718).
