Fluorine-flanked congested sites: Minimal, though perceptible buttressing effects on the proton mobility of arenes
(2,6-Difluorophenyl)trimethylsilane, -triethylsilane and -triisopropylsilane undergo sec-butyllithium-mediated metalation at the 3- and 4-position (ortho and meta relative to the halogen) in ratios of 99.6:0.4, 98:2 and 95:5, resp. The steric pressure transmitted by the fluorine atoms can be increased if the trialkylsilyl group is locked up on the other side by a relatively voluminous substituent. Whereas (2,6-difluorophenyl)triethylsilane is attacked by lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide under deprotonation of the 4- and 5-position in a ratio of 99.4:0.6, the proportion of "ortho"/"meta" metalation changes to 84:16 when (2-bromo-6-fluorophenyl)triethylsilane acts as the substrate.
