Abstract
The behavior of several protected derivatives of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde has been investigated under conditions of electron transfer from alkali metals in aprotic solvents. The 4-methoxy group can be regioselectively removed in good to high yield under such conditions, and an appropriate choice of the protecting group, metal, and solvent allows its substitution with a variety of electrophiles
