The 5-exo cyclization of substituted 5-hexenyllithiums provides a convenient route five- membered-ring-containing carbocycles. 1 Much less information is available on the potential utility of such “anionic” cyclizations2 for the preparation of heterocycles. 3 Herein we report that cycloisomerization of the organolithium derived from a 2-bromo-N-allylaniline by lithiumrbromine exchange provides a novel and experimentally simple route to substituted ...
