摘要
Recent advances in the selective deprotometallation of aromatic reagents using alkali metal cuprates are reported. The ability of these synergic bases to effect deprotonation under the influence of a directing group is explored in the context of achieving new and more efficient organic transformations whilst encouraging greater ancillary group tolerance by the base. Developments in our understanding of the structural chemistry of alkali metal cuprates are reported, with both Gilman cuprates of the type R2CuLi and Lipshutz and related cuprates of the type R2Cu(X)Li-2 (X = inorganic anion) elucidated and rationalised in terms of ligand sterics. The generation of new types of cuprate motif are introduced through the development of adducts between different classes of cuprate. The use of DFT methods to interrogate the mechanistic pathways towards deprotonative metallation is described. Theoretical modelling of in situ rearrangements undergone by the cuprate base are discussed, with a view to understanding the relationship between R2CuLi and R2Cu(X)Li-2, their interconversion and the implications of this for cuprate reactivity. The advent of a new class of adduct between different cuprate types is developed and interpreted in terms of the options for expelling LiX from R2Cu(X)Li-2. Applications in the field of medicinal chemistry and (hetero)arene derivatization are explored.
