Directed lithiations: The effect of varying directing group orientation on competitive efficiencies for a series of tertiary amide, secondary amide, and alkoxide directed ortho lithiations

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00076a022

Significant differences for competitive efficiencies in directed ortho lithiations for single functional groups in three series, the secondary benzamides 1-4, the tertiary benzamides 5-11, and the benzylic alcohols 12-17, are reported. For both amide seri
