Abstract

Abstract Metalation of o-, m-and p-alkoxyalkylthiobenzenes with n-butyllithium is examined. The analysis of the products shows that in the o-compound only a thiomethyl hydrogen is replaced, while in the other compounds studied a ring hydrogen ortho to the alkoxylic group is replaced. The metalation has a low steric requirement.
