Abstract
The superbasic mixture of butyllithium and potassium tert‐butoxide is powerful enough to enable the double proton abstraction from one ortho and one ortho′ position of 4,4′‐di‐tert‐butylbiphenyl. In this way, a series of functionalized derivatives becomes readily accessible, among them 4,4′‐di‐tert‐butylbiphenyldiyl‐2,2′‐dicarboxylic acid (2a) and 4,4′‐di‐tert‐butylbiphenyl‐2,2′‐diol (2d). The latter compound can be subjected again to a superbase‐promoted double metalation, thus giving rise to 2,2′,6,6′‐tetrasubstituted biphenyl derivatives. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
