✦ Synopsis


Consecutive treatment of (trifluoromethoxy)benzene with sec-butyllithium and electrophilic reagents affords previously inaccessible ortho-substituted derivatives in generally excellent yields. 2-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithium acts as the key intermediate. The 3-and 4-isomers can readily be generated from the corresponding 3-and 4-bromo precursors by halogen-metal interconversion with butyllithium or tertbutyllithium. Upon trapping of the 2-, 3-and 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithiums with 11 different electrophiles the
