title: Generation of carbamoyl- and thiocarbamoyllithium synthons having a hydrogen(s) or an aryl group on the nitrogen and their trapping with carbonyl electrophiles.
abstract: Dimetalated amides 1 (Y = O) were generated as the synthons of carbamoyllithiums 2 (Y = O) by the reaction of isocyanates with iBu2AlTenBu and a subsequent tellurium-lithium exchange reaction. A series of amide derivatives 3 (Y = O) were obtained by the trapping of dianion 1 with electrophiles. This transformation can be successfully applied to the generation and trapping of thiocarbamoyllithium synthons 1 (Y = S) as well as to the nucleophilic introduction of the parent carbamoyl moiety H2NC(O).
