While o-substituted bromobenzene derivatives of the type o-BrC6H4XERn (X = O, S; ERn = SiMe3) and n-BuLi undergo metal halogen exchange followed by silyl-X -> C rearrangement, the corresponding compounds of phosphorus, arsenic or tin are split at the E-X bond. o-Metal derivatives o-M^I-C6H4XERn (X = O, NMe; E = P, As, Sn) of these elements may be generated, however, by direct reaction with sodium or lithium.They are unstable and furnish o-hydroxy- and o-aminophenyl element(IV, V) derivatives via an intramolecular anionic rearrangement.
