The generation of aryl anions prior to quenching with a trialkyl berate has been shown to be sensitive to the composition of the aryl substrate. Aryl iodides containing remote benzyl ether substituents undergo trans-metallation with sec-BuLi to cleanly give the desired aryl anions whereas the corresponding bromides afford appreciable quantities of dianionic intermediates. The aryl boronic acids derived from alkylation of these anions subsequently undergo a palladium mediated coupling with aryl halides to provide good yields of the desired biaryls.
