1,3-Diisopropoxybenzene can be selectively metalated by nBuLi or by the superbase mixtures nBuLi/NaOC(Me)2Et or nBuLi/KOC(Me)2Et to give 2,6-diisopropoxyphenyllithium (71 %), 2,6-diisopropoxyphenylsodium (61 %), or 2,6-diisopropoxyph

A mild and practical Barbier–Negishi coupling of secondary alkyl bromides with aryl and alkenyl triflates and nonaflates has been developed. This challenging reaction was enabled by the use of a very bulky imidazole-based phosphine ligand, which resulted in good yields as well as good chemo- and site selectivities for a broad range of substrates at room temperature and under non-aqueous conditions. This reaction was extended to primary alkyl bromides by using an analogous pyrazole-based ligand.

The structure of the chelating benzylidene ligand offers the unique ability to control the initiation of Hoveyda–Grubbs metathesis catalysts. Apart from steric and electronic effects acting on the step involving opening of the chelate ring, changes related to the following ligand-exchange process may also play a critical role. Our mechanistic model reveals that ligands substituted at the 6-position of the benzylidene ring enter the metathesis cycle in a nonoptimal chelating conformation, and thus the coordination number of the ruthenium center transiently increases to six (associative mechanism). In effect, the synthesis and initiation of the catalysts becomes difficult, and the energy barrier of the ligand-exchange process is controlled by the structure of the coordinating OR group. Moreover, we explain how isomeric naphthalene ligands affect the catalytic performance by an indivisible combination of steric and π-electron delocalization effects.
