Abstract

m-and p-Chlorinated ω-phenoxyalcohols 1, were transformed into the corresponding lithium ω-(m-and p-lithiophenoxy) alkoxides 4, respectively, by successive deprotonation with n- butyllithium and subsequent chlorine–lithium exchange by lithium naphthalene radical anion in THF–methylcyclohexane. Lithium 2-(4-lithiophenoxy) ethoxide (4a′) was also prepared by bromine–lithium exchange of 2-(4-bromophenoxy) ethanol (2a′) with two ...
