Directed ortho Metalation in Hydrocarbon Solvents: Opposing Pi-Resonance Effects
Hydrocarbon solvents are known to be unreactive toward organolithium reagents and do not typically support ortho-metalation reactions without the aid of a promoter. An exception would be an arene substrate having the capability to bidentate complex to the reactive alkyllithium dimer, which enables o...
