Abstract

PI volvis intramolecular metalation, or essentially rearrangement of the 3-lithium compound to the% lithium compound. A related transformation occurs when 3-bromodibenzofuran is treated with n-butyllithium and the acids obtained were 3-dibenzofurancarboxylic acid and 4- &benzofurancarboxylic acid. 4 It is highly probable that a related so-called rearrangement will be observed with other systems in which there is available a hydrogen which is quite ...
