Abstract
The reaction of methyllithium with 1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene, 1, 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, 2, and 1,2,4-tris(triflu oromethyl)benzene, 3, was analyzed using the semiempirical package MOP AC 6. It was shown that formation of lithium-hydrogen exchange product s are favoured only in the case of compound 1, whereas in the case of 2 and 3 the major products were those of nucleophilic substitution.
