A one-step synthesis of 1,1'- and 2,2'-methylene-bridged N-heterobiaryls directly from the corresponding N-heterocycles in a reaction with methylmagnesium chloride in the presence of catalytic amounts of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine under thermal and microwave conditions is reported. The split-and-merge methylenation of 2,2'-N-heterobiaryls and the direct ortho-alkylation of quinoline and isoquinoline with Grignard reagents have also been developed. Mechanistic studies identified several ...[more]
