A flow microreactor system consisting of micromixers and microtube reactors provides an effective tool for the generation and reactions of aryllithiums bearing an alkoxycarbonyl group at para-, meta-, and ortho-positions. Alkyl p- and m-lithiobenzoates were generated by the I/Li exchange reaction with PhLi. The Br/Li exchange reactions with sBuLi were unsuccessful. Subsequent reactions of the resulting aryllithiums with electrophiles gave the desired products in good yields. On the other hand, alkyl o-lithiobenzoates were successfully generated by the Br/ Li exchange reaction with sBuLi. Subsequent reactions with electrophiles gave the desired products in good yields.
