'counter-intuitive' regioselectivity, subtle steric and solvation effects in lithiation of cyclic tertiary aralkylamines
2005
Abstract Lithiation of a series of cyclic aralkyl tertiary amines with sec -BuLi in various solvents has been studied. There is a subtle sensitivity to steric factors and lithium coordinating solvents/additives have an adverse effect. ortho -Lithiation is observed only in the case of an eight-membered cyclic amine and the ease of benzylic lithiation with respect to nitrogen is in the surprising order γ > β ≫ α, δ. These observations are discussed in the context of nitrogen coordination promoted lithiation.
