Abstract

The reaction of anisole with organolithium reagents, commonly known as ortho-directed metallation, is of considerable synthetic utility in organic chemistry and as such has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Over the past 50 years, several mechanisms have been proposed to account for the observed regioselective metallation. For the first time, the reaction of perfluoroalkylphenyl sulfides with organolithium reagents has been ...
