Abstract
The selective metalation of aryl nonaflates was performed with TMPMgCl˙LiCl and TMPZnCl˙LiCl. Whereas the magnesiation allows formal metalation in the meta-position, zincation is well suited for an ortho-metalation. No benzyne formation was observed.
Key words
aryl nonaflates - functionalized organometallics - cross-coupling - zinc - magnesium

Typical Procedure
1; Preparation of Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-(nonafluorobutane-1-sulfonyloxy)benzoate
(6a): In a flame-dried Schlenk flask that was previously flushed
with argon, ethyl 4-(nonafluorobutane-1-sulfonyloxy)benzoate (1a; 553 mg, 1.0 mmol) dissolved in THF
(1 mL) was reacted with a solution of TMPMgCl˙LiCl (2; 1.31 M in THF, 0.85 mL, 1.1 mmol) at -20 ˚C
and the reaction mixture was then stirred at this temperature for
3 h. CuCN˙2LiCl (1 M in THF, 1.1 mL, 1.1 mmol) was added
and stirred at
-20 ˚C for 30
min. Benzoyl chloride (183 mg, 1.3 mmol) was added dropwise at -20 ˚C
and the mixture was allowed to warm slowly to 25 ˚C
over 3 h. The resulting mixture was then quenched with a sat. aq
NH4Cl (30 mL), extracted with Et2O (3 × 50
mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. After filtration,
the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography
(pentane-Et2O, 9:1) furnished compound 6a (360 mg, 65%) as a yellowish
oil. ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.17

Typical Procedure 2; Preparation of Ethyl 2-benzoyl-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)benzoate (8): In a flame-dried Schlenk flask that had been flushed with argon, ethyl 4-nonafluorobutane-1-sulfonyloxy)benzoate (6a; 276 mg, 0.5 mmol), Pd(dba)2 (15 mg, 5 mol%) and dppf (14 mg, 5 mol%) dissolved in THF (2 mL) were transferred via cannula to a solution of 4-ethoxy-4-oxybutylzinc bromide (0.67 M in THF, 1.1 mL, 0.75 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 60 ˚C for 8 h and then quenched with a sat. aq NH4Cl (30 mL), extracted with Et2O (3 × 50 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo.
