Abstract

Abstract: Using the combination of n-buryllithium and soluble potassium r-alkoxides higher ratios of di- and mono-metallated benzene have been attained than with n-butyllithium and the insoluble t-BuOK. ... In the course of our studies on metallation with strongly basic ragents we became interested in the possibility of dimetallating benzene (for key references see [I, 2 and 31. A recent article4 of Schlosser et al. on this subject prompts us to report our principal results (see ...
