Abstract

Abstract Lithium atoms were co-condensed with+ I-substituted benzene derivatives like trimethyl (phenyl) silane and tert-butylbenzene in the presence of THF at 77 K, which resulted in C− H bond activation, to produce the aryllithium compound as well as the coupling of the substituted phenyl radicals. Other+ I-substituted benzene derivatives like xylene and mesitylene failed to react with lithium atoms in the presence of THF. Oxygen ...
