Hydrodeamination of N,N-dimethylaminoarenetricarbonylachromium complexes via cine and tele-meta nucleophilic aromatic substitutions

Abstract

Treatment of N,N-dimethylaminoarenetricarbonylchromium complexes with Et3BDLi gives after CF3CO2H treatment arenetricarbonylchromium complexes via cine and tele-meta nucleophilic substitutions which correspond to an unprecedented aromatic carbon–tertiary amine nitrogen cleavage.
