Mixed Mg/Li Amides of the Type R2NMgCl⋅LiCl as Highly Efficient Bases for the Regioselective Generation of Functionalized Aryl and Heteroaryl Magnesium Compounds

Two are better than one: Mixed lithium-magnesium complexes of the type R2NMgCl⋅LiCl are kinetically highly active bases that convert a range of polyfunctional aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates into the corresponding magnesiated derivatives with high regioselectivity.
