Abstract
Abstract 2-Bromo-6-nitrophenyl MOM and SEM ethers from stable lithio compounds on treatment with phenyllithium. Reaction of the lithio species with a variety of electrophiles allows the preparation of 2-substituted-6-nitrophenols. The intramolecular trapping of (2′,3′-epoxypropyloxy)-2-lithio-4-methyl-6-nitrobenzene gives the substituted benzofuran ( 5 ).
