Tertiary carbanions were trapped with half an equivalent of diphosgene to give meso- and d,l-hexasubstituted ketones in moderate yields and modest diastereoselectivities. The ketones were also synthesized by a step-wise synthesis in which the carbonyl group was first installed as an acid before activation and the second nucleophilic attack. This second method gave lower yields but similar diastereoselectivites. Steric limits of both methods were also determined. The photolysis of the resulting crystalline ketones gave a mixture of products in solution, but took place chemoselectively and diastereospecifically in the solid-state.

Metalated nitriles: Organolithium, -magnesium? and -copper exchange of α-halonitriles

(Chemical Equation Presented) α-Halonitriles react with alkyllithium, organomagnesium, and lithium dimethylcuprate reagents generating reactive, metalated nitriles. The rapid halogen-metal exchange with alkyllithium and Grignard reagents allows selective exchange in the presence of reactive carbonyl electrophiles, including aldehydes, providing a high-yielding alkylation protocol. Lithiated and magnesiated nitriles react with propargyl bromide by SN2 displacement whereas organocopper nitriles react by S N2′ displacement, correlating with the formation of a C-metalated nitrile.
