The 1,2-addition of lithium phenylacetylide (PhCCLi) to quinazolinones was investigated usinga combination of structural and rate studies. 6Li, 13C, and 19F NMR spectroscopies show that deprotonationof quinazolinones and phenylacetylene in THF/pentane solutions with lithium hexamethyldisilazide affordsa mixture of lithium quinazolinide/PhCCLi mixed dimer and mixed tetramer along with PhCCLi dimer.Although the mixed tetramer dominates at high mixed aggregate concentrations and low temperaturesused for the structural studies, the mixed dimer is the dominant form at the low total mixed aggregateconcentrations, high THF concentrations, and ambient temperatures used to investigate the 1,2-addition.Monitoring the reaction rates using 19F NMR spectroscopy revealed a first-order dependence on mixeddimer, a zeroth-order dependence on THF, and a half-order dependence on the PhCCLi concentration.The rate law is consistent with the addition of a disolvated PhCCLi monomer to the mixed dimer. Investigationof the 1,2-addition of PhCCLi to an O-protected quinazolinone implicates reaction via trisolvated PhCCLimonomers.
