Abstract

Halogen–metal exchange reactions are among the most powerful methods for preparing organometallic reagents. Pioneered by Wittig et al.[1] and Gilman et al.,[2] the halogen– lithium exchange has become an important method for the preparation of functionalized aryl and heteroaryl lithium compounds.[3] The halogen–magnesium [4] and the halogen–
