A series of methoxy- and fluoro-pyridines have been deprotometalated in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature by using a mixed lithium-zinc combination obtained from ZnCl2·TMEDA (TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) and LiTMP (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino) in a 1:3 ratio, and the metalated species intercepted by iodine. Efficient functionalization at the 3 position was observed from 4-methoxy, 2-methoxy, 2,6-dimethoxy, 2-fluoro and 2,6-difluoropyridine, and at the 4 position from 3-methoxy and 2,3-dimethoxypyridine. Interestingly, clean dideprotonation was noted from 3-fluoropyridine (at C2 and C4) and 2,6-difluoropyridine (at C3 and C5). The obtained regioselectivities have been discussed in light of the CH acidities of the substrates, determined both in the gas phase (DFT B3LYP and G3MP2B3 levels) and in THF solution. In the case of methoxypyridines, the pKa values have also been calculated for complexes with LiCl and LiTMP.

Different homoleptic and heteroleptic lithium-zinc combinations were prepared, and structural elements obtained on the basis of NMR spectroscopic experiments and DFT calculations. In light of their ability to metalate anisole, pathways were proposed to justify the synergy observed for some mixtures. The best basic mixtures were obtained either by combining ZnCl 2·TMEDA (TMEDA = N,N,N',N'tetramethylethylenediamine) with [Li(tmp)] (tmp = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino; 3 equiv) or by replacing one of the tmp in the precedent mixture with an alkyl group. The reactivity of the aromatic lithium zincates supposedly formed was next studied, and proved to be substrate-, base-, and electrophile-dependent. The aromatic lithium zincates were finally involved in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aromatic chlorides and bromides.
