Product distribution in the metalation of some aromatic substrates with n-butyllithium
TL;DR: The following compounds were metalated with n-butyllithium in ether and product isomer ratios determined with the aid of vapor phase chromatographic techniques: anisole, trifluoromethylbenzene, phenetole, m-cresol methyl ether, resorcinol dimethyl ether and biphenyl as discussed by the authors.
