Key Points

To explore an efficient approach for C-H magnesiation of thiophenes using a Mg-Mg-bonded compound.
Utilized a Mg-Mg-bonded compound in the reaction with thiophenes.
Conducted ortho C-H magnesiation process.
Observed the release of hydrogen gas (H2) during the reaction.
Successfully formed magnesium thienyl complexes from thiophene substrates.
Demonstrated efficient reaction conditions with minimal by-product formation.

Implication

The reaction generates magnesium thienyl complexes in thiophenes, highlighting the method's efficiency.

Abstract

Reaction of Mg-Mg-bonded compound [K(THF)3]2[LMg-MgL] (1, L = [(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC(CH3)]2 2-) with thiophenes afforded magnesium thienyl complexes (2-11) through ortho C-H magnesiation with release of H2. This provides an efficient approach...
