Reaction of a series of substituted (benzene) tricarbonylchromiumcomplexes with n-butyllithium has been examined. The reaction appears to proceed via proton abstraction to yield an (aryllithium) tricarbonylchromium intermediate which may then be quenched by the addition of primary alkyl halides, usually methyl iodide. New, alkylated complexes may be obtained, or the material may be decomplexed to yield alkylated benzene derivatives. In this manner,(monoalkylbenzene) tricarbonylchromium complexes yield mainly m-dialkylbenzenes;(fluorobenzeneRricarbonylchromium yields o-fluorotoluene;(anisole) tricarbonylchromium yields mainly 2, 6-dimethylanisole; and (N,/V-dimethylaniline) tricarbonylchromium yields several isomeric N, N-dimethyltoluidines.(Iodobenzene) tricarbonylchromium undergoes metal-halogen exchange with n-butyllithium and may be converted to either toluene or n-butylbenzene depending on the reaction conditions. Comparison with known chemistry of the uncomplexed analogues demonstratesthe strongly activating effect of the tricarbonylchromium moiety on these reactions. It is especially interesting that under these conditions reaction of (fluorobenzene) tricarbonylchromium with n-butyllithium results in proton abstraction rather than net nucleophilic displacement, as observed when less basic nucleophiles are used.Reaction of substituted benzene-transition-metal com-plexes with nucleophiles and bases has received considerable attention over the past two decades. Because of the ease of its addition to and removal from the aromatic nucleus, the tricarbonylchromium group appears to be a very attractive means of temporarily altering the reactivity of aromatic systems. Recently, several reviews of work in this area have appeared. 2
