3]. In 1997, M our and coworkers reported the very first studies around the topic from the 1-phenylsulfonyl derivative; the key deprotolithiathe initial research around the subject in the 1-phenylsulfonyl derivative; the essential deprotolithiation step was carried out by utilizing lithium diisopropylamide (2 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran tion step was carried out by using lithium diisopropylamide (2 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -25 for 0.5 hhand was evidenced by subsequent trapping with a variety of electro(THF) at -25 C for 0.five and was evidenced by subsequent trapping with a variety of electroCompound 48/80 In Vitro philes [34]. Nonetheless, probably becausesulfonamide function also activates the phenyl philes [34]. However, almost certainly since the the sulfonamide function also activates the phenyl [35], a [35], a second deprotonation at the phenylwas noticed with with electrophiles group group second deprotonation at the phenyl ring ring was noticed electrophiles such like chlorotrimethylsilanechlorotrimethylstannane whichwhich are identified for their as chlorotrimethylsilane and and chlorotrimethylstannane are known for their higher higher compatibility with hindered lithium amides. In 2007, Kondo and coworkers identicompatibility with hindered lithium amides. In 2007, Kondo and coworkers identified mefied mesityllithium as an alternative baselithium amide amide for comparable substrates [36]. sityllithium as an option base to the towards the lithium for similar substrates [36]. A single solution to deprotometalate the 2-position without having protection/deprotection methods is One way to deprotometalate the 2-position without having protection/deprotection steps is usually to form carbamate in in situ. 1999, PSB-603 Adenosine Receptor Curtis andand coworkers extended this method, to type a a carbamate situ. In In 1999, Curtis coworkers extended this method, 1st first developed in indole series by Katritzky andand coworkers [37], to 7-azaindole. They developed within the the indole series by Katritzky coworkers [37], to 7-azaindole. They sucsuccessively treated 7-azaindole with n-butyllithiumand carbon dioxide just before performing cessively treated 7-azaindole with n-butyllithium and carbon dioxide before performing C2-deprotolithiation with tert-butyllithium in THF at -78 C, subsequent electrophilic C2-deprotolithiation with tert-butyllithium in THF at -78 , subsequent electrophilic trapping (CO2 ) and acidic treatment; below these circumstances, the carboxylic acid was trapping (CO2) and acidic treatment; below these situations, the carboxylic acid was obobtained using a appropriate yield [38]. tained with a correct yield [38]. The 7-azaindoles 1-substituted by methyl, diethylaminomethyl and methoxymethyl The 7-azaindoles 1-substituted by methyl, diethylaminomethyl and methoxymethyl groups can also be functionalized at their 2-position following deprotolithiation utilizing tertgroups also can be functionalized at their 2-position after deprotolithiation utilizing tert-bubutyllithium in THF (addition on the base at -78 C before warming to 0 C). This tyllithium in THF (addition of the base at -78 prior to warming to 0). This was eviwas evidenced in 2008 by O’Shea, Tacke and coworkers who successfully employed 6denced in 2008 by O’Shea, Tacke and coworkers who successfully employed 6-(dimethyl(dimethylamino)fulvene as an electrophile [39]. It is worth noting that 2-(trimethylsilyl)etho amino)fulvene as an electrophile [39]. It truly is worth noting that 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymexymethyl can also be employed as a defending group to quickly deprotonate the adjacent thyl can also.
