Preparation and Reactions of Polymagnesiated Aromatics and Heteroaromatics, Functionalized Cyclopropane Carbenoids and Soluble Lanthanide Reagents

A synthetic access to polymagnesiated aromatics and heteroaromatics
via multiple magnesiations was developed, their reactivity towards
different electrophiles was explored. A diatereoselective synthesis
of functionalized cyclopropane carbenoids was developed. Soluble
Lanthanide soloutions were prepared and used in the addition
reactions of Grignard reagents to carbonyl compounds.
