摘要: 2-, 3- And 4-Methoxytoluene can be selectively metalated at an O-adjacent ortho position when butylithium or tert-butyllithium in the presence of sodium (potassium) tert-butoxide N,N,N',Nq,Nq-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine are employed as reagents. In contrast, lithium diisopropylamide 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide deprotonate benzylic a-position 2- and 3-methoxytoluene exclusively 4-methoxytoluene preferentially. These relative reactivities rationalized by interplay transition state stabilizing destabilizing forces (dipole matching metal coordination vs. lone pair repulsion). [on SciFinder (R)]
