N,N,N′,N′,N”-Pentamethyldipropylenetriamine (PMDPTA): A Versatile Auxiliary for Site Selective Lithiation Reactions

Abstract Efficient lithiation processes were developed with PMDPTA, a tridentate ligand of butyllithium reagent for site selective metallation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
