Abstract

The metalation of phenol, resorcinol and of the methyl ethers of these and other phenolic compounds 'has been investigated under a variety of experimental conditions. The most noticeable features about these reactions are the greater activation, based on the yields of metalation products, of the ethers with respect to the corresponding phenols and, concurrently, the formation of more isomers with the metalation of free phenols. This ...
