A facile approach to C-functionalized β-ketoimine compounds via terminal alkylation of a tetralithiated intermediate

Abstract

A series of C-functionalized β-ketoimine compounds at the terminal methyl groups of the β-ketoimine precursor LphH2 (Lph = C6H4[NC(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]CHC(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]O]2) were prepared. This convenient transformation was realized via straightforward double alkylation on the terminal Cα of a novel bis-dianionic β-ketoiminate lithium complex [Lph′Li4(THF)4]2 (Lph′ = C6H4[NC(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]CHC(O)[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2]2) followed by hydrolysis.
