[GRAPHICS] Deprotonation of benzoxazole, benzothiazole, benzo[b]thiophene, benzo[b]furan, N-Boc-protected indole and pyrrole, and N-phenylpyrazole using an in situ mixture of ZnCl(2)center dot TMEDA (0.5 equiv) and lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (1.5 equiv) in THF at room temperature is described. The reaction was evidenced by trapping with iodine, regioselectively giving the expected functionalized derivatives in 52-73% yields. A mixture of mono- and disubstituted derivatives was obtained starting from thiazole. Cross-coupling reactions of 2-metalated benzo[b]thiophene and benzo[b]furan with heteroaromatic chlorides proved possible under palladium catalysis. A reaction pathway where the lithium amide and zinc diamide present in solution behave synergically was proposed for the deprotonation reaction, taking account of NMR and DFT studies carried out on the basic mixture.
