A general, efficient, and regioselective synthesis of a series of hydroxylated 1-methylphenanthrenes 9 by a combined directed ortho metalation (DoM)-Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling-directed remote metalation (DreM) sequence is reported. Diversity to this methodology was achieved by a regioselective DoM rather than DreM reaction, affording more highly substituted phenanthrols (Table 2). Application of the turbo-Grignard reagent (i-PrMgCl·LiCl) in the Ni-catalyzed Corriu-Kumada reaction gave efficient decarbamoylation (Tables 3and 4). Additional features are the TMS protecting group and halo-induced ipso-desilylation tactics applied to the regioselective synthesis of phenanthrenes (Scheme 2).

New general methodology of value in aromatic chemistry based on silicon protection of preferred ortho metalation sites in benzamides and o-methyl groups in o-toluamides (1, 2, Scheme I) is described.According to these methodologies, routes (Scheme II and V) to 1,2,5-, 1,2,4,5-, and 1,2,3-substituted aromatics with a variety of functionalities and oxidation states have been developed (Tables I and II).These tactics are used for the synthesis of difficult to access halo (10a-b, Scheme III) and methyl (21,25, Scheme VI) heterocycles.Ipso bromodesilylation reactions with bromine lead regiospecifically to o-bromobenzamides (12a,c, 14, Scheme IV).Walk-around-the-ring metalation processes provide highly substituted aromatics 27, 28, 29, and 30 (Scheme VII); the X-ray structure of the hexasubstituted derivative 30 shows a significant puckering of the aromatic ring.Cesium fluoride induced carbodesilylation of o-silylbenzamides with benzaldehyde affords, after TsOH cyclization, phthalides (31a-c, Scheme VIII) and constitutes a neutral alternative to the directed ortho metalation approach. α- and α,α-silylated o-toluamides are used in fluoride-mediated carbodesilylation (34a,d, Scheme IX) and desilylative Peterson olefination (35, Scheme X) procedures, respectively.The utility of α-silylated o-toluamide for the synthesis of a tetralin (38, Scheme XI) via an o-quinodimethane species is given.
