Selective Metalati<strong>on</strong>s us<strong>in</strong>g i-PrMgCl·LiCl and<br />
s-BuMgCl·LiCl<br />
While halogen-metal exchange reacti<strong>on</strong>s are am<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> most comm<strong>on</strong><br />
methods for prepar<strong>in</strong>g reactive organometallic reagents, Li-halogen<br />
exchange reacti<strong>on</strong>s typically require low temperatures and off er limited<br />
compatibility with o<strong>the</strong>r functi<strong>on</strong>alities. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, Mg-halogen<br />
exchange reacti<strong>on</strong>s require higher temperatures and are often pr<strong>on</strong>e to<br />
elim<strong>in</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> side reacti<strong>on</strong>s. To address <strong>the</strong>se issues, Knochel and coworkers<br />
have found that <strong>the</strong> use of salt additives <strong>in</strong>crease both <strong>the</strong> rate and<br />
<strong>the</strong> effi ciency of this Mg-halogen exchange reacti<strong>on</strong>. The most eff ective<br />
reagents are generated with R-MgCl (R = i-Pr, s-Butyl) and 1.0 equiv<br />
of LiCl. The <strong>in</strong>creased reactivity of <strong>the</strong>se aptly named TurboGrignards<br />
may be due to <strong>the</strong> breakup of polymeric aggregates known to exist <strong>in</strong><br />
classical soluti<strong>on</strong>s of Grignard reagents. TurboGrignards allow for <strong>the</strong><br />
c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> of a variety of functi<strong>on</strong>alized and highly sensitive substrates,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g those c<strong>on</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g CO2R, CN, OMe, and halogen moieties, to<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir corresp<strong>on</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g functi<strong>on</strong>alized organometallic derivatives. While rate<br />
enhancements are observed with TurboGrignards, this <strong>in</strong>creased reactivity<br />
does not have a negative impact <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> overall scope of <strong>the</strong> reacti<strong>on</strong>,<br />
permitt<strong>in</strong>g transformati<strong>on</strong>s to occur <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> presence of a broad range of<br />
functi<strong>on</strong>al groups (Table 7). 1<br />
