Abstract
Treatment with base of N ′-aryl
urea derivatives of het-ero- or carbocyclic amines with
benzylic nitrogen atoms promotes rearrangement with transfer of
the aryl ring from N to C, giving rise to α-arylated products.
Key words
arylation - amines - heterocycles - lithiation - ureas

Alongside remaining starting material,
byproducts from this reaction included those arising from ortholithiation
of the aryl ring followed by anionic ortho -Fries
rearrangement (see Sibi, M. P.; Snieckus, V. J.
Org. Chem. 1983 , 48 ,
1935). Quenching the reaction mixture with TMSCl yielded no products
of silylation α to nitrogen.

In THF, decomposition products suggest
that lithiation is followed by intra- and/or intermolecular
addition to the 2- or 4-position of the pyridyl ring, rather than
the 3-position.
