Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Reactive arynes, which are readily generated by the reaction of ortho-iocloarylsulfonates with iPrMgCl, undergo the smooth addition of various magnesium nucleophiles like magnesium thiolates, selenides, and amides. In all cases the resulting functionalized aryl magnesium species can be trapped by an electrophile leading to highly functionalized aromatic compounds (see scheme).
