The reactions of 4-ethoxy-2-(2,3,3-trichloro-1-nitro-2-propenylidene)benzazetine with methyl- and phenyllithium at a ratio of 1:2 result in replacement of one chlorine atom and formation, respectively, of 4-ethoxy-2-(2,3-dichloro-3-methyl-1-nitro-2-propenylidene)benzazetine and 4-ethoxy-2-(2,3-dichloro-1-nitro-3-phenyl-2-propenylidene)benzazetine in 45 and 52% yield. With excess phenyllithium (reactant ratio 1:5), a mixture of products is formed due to replacement of one, two, and three chlorine atoms by phenyl groups. An analogous reaction with methyllithium is nonselective. |
