  • Preparation of functionalized triazenes/preparation of carbazoles
  • Regioselective functionalization of trisubstituted pyridines
  • Electrophilic amination for preparation of amines
  • Preparation of Grignards reagents in the presence of masked ketones and aldehydes (using readily deprotectable silylated cyanohydrins)
  • Preparation of Benzylic Grignards via Sulfur-Magnesium exchange
  • Functionalization via I-Mg Exchange of unprotected aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids
  • Functionalization via I-Mg Exchange of unprotected imidazoles
  • Pyridyne formation
  • Functionalization of cyclopentene derivatives
  • Preparation of 2,3-functionalized furans, benzofurans, and thiophenes

The magnesiation of halogenated aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids is accomplished by their treatment with MeMgCl in the presence of LiCl and subsequent reaction with i-PrMgCl.LiCl; the resulting double-magnesiated species react with a variety of electrophiles in up to 97%
