Can amides deprotonate benzene? Can they deprotonate any other arene? Check out how a sodium amide can do this and allow the catalytic deuteration of aromatic molecules! This is my poster for this year's #RSCPoster #RSCOrg #RSCInorg Work done at @DCBPunibern in @EvaHeviaGroup

@AndryjBorys @EvaHeviaGroup @DCBunibern Thanks for answering! I was thinking that you could get the silylation in the terminal position if the nickel could isomerize via betahydride elimination and reinsertion. I was wondering if this nickel-amide ligand would allow this isomerization.

@CeraGianpiero @DCBPunibern @EvaHeviaGroup yes, working with sodium offers a boost in reactivity but we suffer in the FG tolerance. In general, any functional group that would react with nBuLi, we see that is not tolerated. We are working on milder bases to try to modulate the reactivity and have better tolerance.

@g_laudadio @DCBPunibern @EvaHeviaGroup thanks! This happens at room temperature, but the formed PhNa co-complex with unreacted base, so we don't get a full metalation (which is key for the deuteration). We have also used B(OiPr)3 to push the metalation and form the 'borylated' products

@H_H_Hydrogen @DCBPunibern @EvaHeviaGroup Thank you!! We see that the acidity is similar, so both species are present in solution and this allows the H/D exchange to take place. The catalytic cycle is also simplified, because organosodium might aggregate in solution.
