Abstract
A method for the regioselective functionalization of haloarenes through deprotonative lithiation, followed by trapping with a zinc chloride diamine complex provides organozinc species without aryne formation. A subsequent reaction with electrophiles affords the corresponding products in good yields. This method was applied to the five-step total synthesis of carbazomycin A.
