The tertiary amides! V, lV-diethylbenzamide (1) and JV, jV-diisopropylbenzamide (3) give the ortho-lithiated species 2 on treatment with sec-BuLi/TMEDA or n-BuLi/TMEDA, respectively, at-78 C. Lithiation of 1 followed by reaction with either methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, benzophenone, acetone, benzaldehyde, or trimethoxy-borane-hydrogen peroxide gives the expected ortho substituted product. Intramolecular competition between the diethylamide and chloro, methoxyl, sulfonamide,(dimethylamino) methyl, or oxazoline functions in orthoand para-substituted benzamides establishes the tertiary amido group to be more effective in directing metalation than any noncarboxamide functional group under the prescribed conditions. Complimentarity of directing effects is observed with the chloro and methoxyl groups in the meta-substituted diethylbenzamides but not with the methyl group. The secondary amide is found to have a directing ability comparable to the tertiary amide with sec-BuLi/TMEDA at-78 C in THF although the yields are low. 13C NMR chemical shifts are particularly useful for the structural assignments which are confirmed chemically by lactonization of some products. A labeling study with lV, JV-diisopropyl-2, 6-dideuteriobenzamide suggests that lithiation of the ortho positionof 3 is direct and not the resultof rearrangement of an initially formed-aza anion. Control of metalation at the ortho or benzylic position by proper selection of the organolithium base is illustrated for fVJV-diisopropyl-p-toluamide. The value of the tertiary amide for control of ortho lithiations and regiospecific aromatic substitutions is noted.The formation of regiospecifically ortho metalated aro-matics by deprotonation, illustrated for substituted benzenes in Scheme I, is a reaction of synthetic value and mechanistic interest. A classic and seminal case is the reaction of anisóle with n-butyllithium to give 2-lithio-anisole reported byGilman and by Wittig over 40 years ago. 1 Early developments, initially by Gilman and Hauser
