A Lewis acid-triggered zincation allows the regioselective metalation of various chromones and quinolones. In the absence of MgCl(2), a C(3) zincation is observed, whereas in the presence of MgCl(2) or a related Lewis acid, C(2) zincation occurs. Applications to a natural flavone, isoflavone, and quinolone are shown.
