Abstract

Lithiation of 2-bromo-1,1-diphenylethene (2) with n-butyllithium or tert-butyllithium/tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in pentane at -100 °C effects a halogen-lithium exchange to give 2-lithio-1,1-diphenylethene (3) exclusively, which reacts with electrophiles to provide 2-substituted-1,1-diphenylethenes 5-8 in high yields. Further lithiation of the monolithium derivative 3 with n-butyllithium/TMEDA results in the direct ortho-lithiation of Z-located phenyl ring to give dilithium derivative 9, which forms disubstituted ethenes 11-13 or heterocycles 15-17 on treatment with electrophiles. tert-Butyllithium/TMEDA is ineffective for the second lithiation step.

Key words

halides - lithiation - organometallic reagents - complexes - regioselectivity

One equivalent of n-BuLi is required for the metalation of 2 to 3. The second equivalent reacts with butyl bromide formed to turn the metalation equilibrium to the side of products: 2 + BuLi → 3 + BuBr, BuLi + BuBr → Bu-Bu + LiBr.
