The key elimination step for the formation of 3-chloro- and 3-fluorobenzyne from 2-chloro-6-fluorophenyllithium displays a pronounced solvent-dependent regioselectivity. 6Li and 13C NMR spectroscopic studies on 2-chloro-6-fluorophenyllithium reveal a single monomeric aryllithium, suggested by DFT computational studies to be a trisolvate. Rate studies indicate that the elimination of LiCl and LiF proceeds via trisolvated and disolvated monomers, respectively. Copyright
