General description

Allylmagnesium bromide solution serves as a selective nucleophile toward aza-aromatic heterocycles.

Application

Allylmagnesium bromide solution can be used in the Grignard reaction, which is a key step to synthesize:
  • 2-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-propanoanthracen-9-yl)-N-methylethanamine (2), a homolog of benzoctamine
  • tarchonanthuslactone
  • (+)-preussin
  • polyhydroxylated quinolizidine alkaloids
