Preparation of Polyfunctional Arylmagnesium, or Arylzinc Reagents Bearing a Triazene Moiety and Their Applications in Organic Synthesis

Published: Feb. 28, 2007, 11 a.m.

We have prepared a number of polyfunctional arylmagnesium or arylzinc reagents bearing a triazene moiety. According to some of the methodologies, we applied them in the new synthesis of functionalized carbazoles, functionalized terphenyls, and natural products such as ellipticine, and 9-methoxyellipticine.
