Abstract

The directed zincation of tropolone derivatives was achieved using TMPZnCl center dot LiCl. Various functionalizations of the zincated intermediates by halogenation, acylation, allylation, and Negishi cross-coupling were successfully performed. Additionally, 1,8-conjugate addition-elimination reactions with a variety of arylmagnesium and secondary alkylzinc reagents were carried out to further elaborate the tropolone core.
