(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)trimethyl- and -triethylsilane exhibit untypical reactivity patterns toward strong bases. When treated at -100 DegC with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide, they give rise to two, with sec- or tert-butyllithium even three, different ...
The deprotonation energies of benzene, fluorobenzene, all di-, tri-, and tetrafluorobenzenes, pentafluorobenzene, chlorobenzene, all di-, tri-, and tetrachlorobenzenes, and pentachlorobenzene have been calcd. at various levels of second-order Moller-Plesse ...
Although there are many conceivable ways to functionalize, and specifically carboxylate, 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine optionally at all three vacant positions, it is more straightforward to prep. only 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carboxyl ...
This article provides insight into the various factors by which electroneg. substituents affect the kinetic acidity of arenes and, more specifically, naphthalenes. Both 1- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalenes were consecutively treated with an organometalli ...
The metalation of 2,3-, 2,6-, 2,4- and 3,5-dichlorobenzotrifluorides can be readily effected with std. reagents such as lithium diisopropylamide, lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide, and butyllithium at the chlorine-adjacent 4- and 3-positions and the ch ...
As a further test of the concept of regioexhaustive functionalization, 2-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine and 3-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine were each converted into the three possible carboxylic acids. This wa ...
In a model study, 3-fluorophenol and 3-fluoropyridine were converted into all possible regioisomers of the corresponding carboxylic acids by passing through the corresponding organometallic intermediates. As an attempt to generalize the findings reveals, a ...
Wolff-Kishner-Huang redn. of the cheap 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinone provides the expensive 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, the precursor to lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide, in high yield. As specified in the detailed protocol, the reaction can b ...
Whereas lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LITMP) abstrs. a proton exclusively from the 4-position of 3-bromobenzotrifluoride, the same base attacks selectively the 2-position when employed in the presence of N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamin ...
More than two dozen new CF3-substituted naphthalene derivs. were prepd. in an expedient way by employing 3- and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyne as the key intermediates. 2- And 4-Chlorobenzotrifluoride were treated with butyllithium and the organometallic speci ...
