Synthetically useful mono-functionalizations of dihaloarenes via Rieke metals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408019062

Reaction of dihalobenzenes and 2, 5-dibromothiophene with Rieke magnesium, Rieke zinc, and Rieke calcium at low temperature affords a monoorganometallic intermediate which upon subsequent treatment with an electrophile provides a mono-functionalized aromatic product in excellent chemical yield.
