Oxetane nudges in the DoM direction! Regioselective ortho-lithiation induced by an oxetane ring has been achieved. The reaction provides easy access to ortho-functionalized 2-aryloxetanes also through a lithiation/borylation Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The lithiation-directing ability of oxetane and the proton transfer mechanism have been investigated by competitive metalation and kinetic isotope effect studies. Copyright
