✦ Synopsis
Bis(2-lithioallyl)amines derived from bis(2-bromoallyl)amines undergo intramolecular carbometallation of a lithiated double bond, giving dilithiated dihydropyrroles. The cyclizations are promoted by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). Reaction of these intermediates with electrophiles allows the preparation of some new fused and nonfused fivemembered functionalized heterocycles. Although 2-lithioallylamines do not suffer intermolecular carbometallation, di-merization products are obtained with their copper or zirconium derivatives. Finally, the application of this new reaction to 2-lithio-N-(2-lithioallyl)anilines leads to 3-lithiomethylindole derivatives, which are transformed to functionalized indole derivatives by reaction with electrophiles.
