Selected activated bromobenzenes XC 6 H 4 Br (X = 4‐Br, 4‐I, 4‐CN, 2‐CN) were successfully deprotonated with lithium 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide (LTMP) in THF at –80 °C. Thus, 2,5‐dibromo‐, 2‐bromo‐5‐iodo‐, 5‐bromo‐2‐cyano‐, and 3‐bromo‐2‐cyanophenyllithium were obtained as stable intermediates and could be converted by subsequent reactions into various functionalized derivatives with good yields. A competition of directing effects of bromine versus iodine and cyano groups is discussed.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
