Whereas standard strong bases (n-BuLi, s-BuLi/TMEDA, n-BuLi/t-BuOK, TMPMgCl·LiCl, and LDA) reduce the N=N bond of the parent azobenzene (Y = H), aromatic H→Li permutation occurs with LTMP when a suitable director of lithiation (Y = OMe, CONEt2, F) is present in the benzene residue of the azo compound. The method allows direct access to new substituted azobenzenes.
