Lithiation of 2-, 3-, and 4-Fluoroanisole(tricarbonyl)chromium(0) Complexes: a Reversal of Normal Regiocontrol

Lithiation of tricarbonyl(fluoroanisole)chromium(0) complexes occurs exclusively ortho to the fluorine atom, not the oxygen atom as observed in the uncomplexed arenes; the X-ray structure of complex (1) shows that the specificity is not caused by steric inhibition of lithium base co-ordination by oxygen.
