Abstract
A methoxy group in 1,2, 3-trimethoxybenzenes can be readily displaced by a butyl group via reaction with butyllithium in hexane. The reaction probably proceeds via an addition-elimination mechanism. There appears to be a qualitative relation between the coefficient of the LUMO at the central C-O carbon atom and the rate of the reaction.
