Abstract

Abstract Nine 1, 3-dichlorobenzene congeners were selected as model compounds to assess the relative rates of proton abstraction from 4-and 5-positions (“ortho” vs.“meta” metalation). Using lithium 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidide as the basic reagent, the chlorine- adjacent 4-position underwent metalation exclusively. In contrast, attack at the chlorine- remote 5-position became significant even in the case of moderately sized 2-substituents ( ...
