The synthesis of a series of phenol ethers and 4-triisopropylsilyloxymethyl
phenol ethers and their eta(6)-tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes are reporte
d. The directed lithiation of these followed by quenching with a series of
electrophiles gave access to a wide range of functionalised complexes for u
