Functionalisation in 2 position of benzenes 1,3-disubstituted by para-directing groups has been investigated, involving 2-trimethylsilylated intermediates when the classical methods (particularly these involving the anion in 2 position) are ineffective. Thus 2-trimethylsilyl derivatives of 1,3-dihalo- or 1,3-dimethoxybenzene have been prepared in good yields. Their conversion into the corresponding 1,2,3-trisubstituted benzenes has been conveniently performed upon acetylation, iodination or sulfonation, except in the case of the sulfonation of the 1,3-dimethoxylated compound in which the ipso effect of the silyl group is surpassed by the directing effect of the methoxy substituents. In contrast, whith the same substrate, cyanation in position 2 was successfully carried out using chlorosulfonyl isocyanate: to our knowledge this reaction is the first example of substitution of a trimethylsilyl by a cyano group in the aromatic series.
