New lithium-zincate approaches for the selective functionalisation of pyrazine: direct dideprotozincation vs. nucleophilic alkylation

Abstract

Comparing the reactivity of the related lithium zincates [(THF)LiZn(TMP)tBu2] (1) and [(PMDETA)LiZntBu3] (2) towards pyrazine discloses two new bimetallic approaches for the selective 2,5-dideprotonation and room temperature C–H alkylation of this sensitive heterocycle.
