A rule which seems reasonable for metalation by hydrogen displacement is that the salt of the strong-est acid should form. A previous paper2 emphasized this principle, and a large number of processes have been interpreted on this basis. Among these are the reaction of butyllithium with bromodiphen-ylsulfones, 3· 4 the generally decreasing ease of meta-lation of toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and cumene by amylsodium, 5· 6· 7 ethylpotassium8 or potas-sium-sodium oxide, 9 the decreasing reactivity of tri-pheny! methane, diphenylmethane, and toluene to-ward potassium or sodium, 10 the general variation in reactivity of numerous hydrocarbons with potassium-sodium oxide9 andespecially the preference of methyl over isopropyl in the displacement of hy-drogen from p-cymene. 9 However the rule is not followed invariably. In reactions upon solid sur-faces and by aggregates of ions, other factorsprobably steric, sometimes override the acidity in-fluence. Already the metalations of cumene by amylsodium5· 6 and by potassium-sodium oxide9 are known to take placeat different positions which cannot have identical acidities. The metalation of fluorene by potassium hydroxide11 appears out of
