Functionalization of pyridyl ketones using deprotolithiation-in situ zincation?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2016-06-28 DOI: 10.1039/C6RA11370B

Abstract

The metallation of aryl ketones was achieved by using LiTMP in the presence of ZnCl2·TMEDA, as evidenced by subsequent interception with iodine or by a palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reaction. One of the synthesized iodo ketones has been further elaborated to reach derivatives of biological interest.
