Td. Yarwood et al., SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS OF FLUORINATED PHENYLLITHIUMS - PREPARATION OFFLUORINATED ALPHA-METHYLSTYRENES, BENZHYDROLS, BENZOPHENONES AND ARYLTRIMETHYLSILANES, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 78(2), 1996, pp. 113-119
Regioselective preparations of a number of fluorinated phenyllithiums
have recently been reported, which in some cases also contain one or m
ore bromine substituents. These have now been applied to the synthesis
of the corresponding halogenated 2-arylpropenes (alpha-methylstyrenes
), benzhydrols, trifluoromethylbenzhydrols, benzophenones and aryltrim
ethylsilanes.
