Chen, Yi-Hung published the artcilePreparation and Application of Solid, Salt-Stabilized Zinc Amide Enolates with Enhanced Air and Moisture Stability, Recommanded Product: 2-(Chloromethyl)benzonitrile, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2017), 56(16), 4612-4616, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
The treatment of various N-morpholino amides with TMPZnCl·LiCl (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl) and Mg(OPiv)2 in THF at 25 °C provides solid zinc enolates with enhanced air and moisture stability (t1/2 in air: 1-3 h) after solvent evaporation These enolates undergo Pd- and Cu-catalyzed cross-couplings with (hetero)aryl bromides as well as allylic and benzylic halides. The arylated N-morpholino amides were converted into various ketones by LaCl3·2 LiCl mediated acylation with Grignard reagents. The new, solid enolates were used to prepare a potent anti-breast-cancer drug candidate in six steps and 23 % overall yield.
