Application of organolithium and related reagents in synthesis, Part 24.1 Synthetic strategies based on aromatic metallation. A concise regiospecific conversion of benzoic acids into 2-(1-aryl-2-methoxycarbonylethyl)benzoic acids

The synthesis of the 3-arylphthalides 3 via metallation (BuLi) of the benzanilides 1 and subsequent reaction of the generated bis-lithiated anilides 2 with aromatic aldehydes is described. Conversion of 3 into the corresponding 2-(1-aryl-2-methoxycarbonylethyl)benzoic acids 4 by treatment with 1-methoxy-1-trimethylosiloxyethene in the presence of titanium tetrachloride, as a way of regiospecific transformation of benzoic acids, is also described.

Application of Organolithium and Related Reagents in Synthesis, Part X. Metallation-Electrophilic Substitution Sequence of Secondary Chlorobenzamides

The lithiation (BunLi/THF) of 2-chloro- (1), 3-chloro- (2) and 4-chlorobenzanilides (3) and the subsequent reactions of the corresponding bis-lithiated anilides 4-6 with electrophiles (MeI, CH2=CH-CH2Br, Me3SiCl, MeCHO, o-MeOC6H4CHO, p-MeOC6H4CHO, Me2NCHO and p-MeOC6H4CONMe2) towards the synthesis of the ortho substituted chlorobenzoic acids derivatives 12-14 have been described.The effect of the chlorine substituent upon the generation and stability of the bis-lithiated chloro-anilides 4-6 has been studied.It has been found that the bis-lithiated chloro-anilide 5 derived from n-chloro-benzanilide (2) at a temperature above - 30 deg C converts into the corresponding benzyne 9.The anilide moiety (masking group) of the formed ortho-substituted chlorobenzanilides appeared to be effectively removable on acid-driven hydrolysis.Keywords: Secondary chlorobenzamides; Lithiation; Electrophilic substitution; ortho-Substituted chlorobenzoic acids; Phthalides; 2,3-Dihydro-1H-iso-indolin-1-ones; 3,4-Dihydroisocoumarins.
