Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Against expectation: How can the site of Br-Mg exchange in multiply brominated compounds be predicted? Competition experiments with different substituents X and Y (see scheme; X, Y = H, F, Cl, Br, CF3, CO2tBu, CN) reveal a counterintuitive order of substituent effects. The aim of the study is to enable the selectivity of halogen-magnesium exchange reactions of polyfunctional compounds to be predicted.
