Abstract

The synthesis of a series of phenol ethers and 4-triisopropylsilyloxymethylphenol ethers and their η6-tricarbonylchromium (0) complexes are reported. The directed lithiation of these followed by quenching with a series of electrophiles gave access to a wide range of functionalised complexes for use in synthesis.
