New dihalosalicylamides and trihalophenol derivatives have been synthesized from easily available O ‐(3, n ‐dihalophenyl) N , N ‐diethylcarbamates by using a directed ortho ‐metalation (D o M) strategy. The o ‐lithiation reactions with s BuLi take place regioselectively at the doubly activated C‐2 position, which demonstrates the ability of O ‐carbamates as directed metalating groups. In addition, highly functionalized arylnitriles were accessed from organolithium intermediates by using a tandem transnitrilation/S N Ar reaction sequence.
