Popis: Although the intramolecularly stabilized [(3-dimethylamino)propyl]dimethylaluminum (1a) fails to undergo palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with bromopyridines and with bromofuran derivatives, the analogous gallium and indium reagent 1b and 1c smoothly cross-methylate these and other bromoheterocycles. The cross-coupling can be performed also with the dimeric indium and gallium compounds bis(μ-[2-(dimethylamino)ethanolato-N,O:O]tetramethyldigallium and -diindium (2b and 2c, respectively). The indium reagent is fairly air-stable and the reactions can be carried out under ambient conditions. The yields are generally very high but are influenced by steric and electronic effects.
