Mild iodine-magnesium exchange of iodoaromatics bearing a pyrimidine ring with isopropylmagnesium chloride.

Org Lett. 2006 Jul 6;8(14):3141-4

Authors: Wang XJ, Xu Y, Zhang L, Krishnamurthy D, Senanayake CH

Iodoaromatics bearing a reactive pyrimidine ring underwent a clean iodine-magnesium exchange with isopropylmagnesium chloride in the presence of bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether to provide the corresponding Grignard reagents. The presence of bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether prevented reduction of the pyrimidine ring and addition by isopropylmagnesium chloride. As a result, the newly formed reactive Grignard reagents were allowed to react with electrophiles in a highly selective manner to afford adducts in excellent yields.
