The model compds. selected were 2,3,6-trifluorophenol, the three isomers of (trifluoromethoxy)phenol and the three isomers of chlorophenol. A combination of optionally site selective metalations and protective group-controlled metalations enabled the selective generation of several isomeric intermediates in each case and their subsequent conversion into functionalized derivs., in particular hydroxybenzoic acids.
