The ortho-metalation of aromatics and heteroaromatics is a powerful method for the functionalization of these ring systems. Although lithium bases and several ate-bases allow the preparation of various ortho-metalated products, there is still a need for more chemoselective bases. Recently, we reported that the reaction of tmpMgCl·LiCl (1; tmp = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl) or tmpLi with metallic chlorides, such as ZnCl2, [7] AlCl3, [8] MnCl2·2LiCl, [9] FeCl2·2LiCl, or FeCl3 [10] provides highly chemoselective bases that tolerate a range of functional groups. The presence of MgCl2 and LiCl in these bases ensures good solubility in THF and a high kinetic basicity (compare tmp2Zn·2MgCl2·2LiCl with tmpZnCl·LiCl). [7d] Organolanthanum derivatives are relatively inexpensive organometallic intermediates of low toxicity. They are usually prepared by transmetalation reactions starting from lithium or magnesium reagents as has been pioneered by Imamoto. Several lanthanum amides have been reported, mainly for the performance of hydroamination reactions or for structural studies. Herein, we wish to report a new base, that is, tmp3La·3MgCl2·5LiCl (2, abbreviated, for the sake of clarity, to tmp3[La]). The reaction of tmp3[La] (2) with functionalized arenes and heteroarenes of type 3 allows an expedient access to functionalized aryl and heteroaryl derivatives of type 4 under mild conditions. These unsaturated lanthanum derivatives display a unique reactivity pattern and react with various electrophiles (5) producing a range of polyfunctional products of type 6. The new base 2 is readily prepared by the reaction of tmpMgCl·LiCl (1; 3.0 equiv) with the THF soluble complex LaCl3·2LiCl [15] in THF for 12 h. The resulting dark brown solution (0.33m in THF; 95 % yield as determined by titration) is stable under argon for at least 2 months without decomposition (Scheme 1).
