The metalation of fluoroanisoles: optional regioselectivity due to metal mediated control
2- And 4-Fluoroanisole undergo hydrogen/metal exchange at the position next to the alkoxy moiety if n-BuLi or tert-BuLi is used and at the position next to the halogen atom if the stoichiometric mixt. of butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide serves as the reagents. 3-Fluoroanisole is always attacked at the position flanked by the 2 hetero-substituents.
