Abstract

Reaction-pathway control of benzo [b] thiophen-3-yllithium and benzo [b] furan-3-yllithium was accomplished in flow microreactor systems. We could switch between the reaction with an electrophile before ring-opening and that after ring-opening at will by choosing an appropriate residence-time and temperature.
