1,1′-, 1,2-, and
1,3-substitution patterns have been targeted via a combination of
electrophilic
aromatic substitution
and directed ortho-lithiation protocols. While none of these systems
are competent for the Lewis acid chelation of fluoride, related systems
featuring a mixed B/Si acceptor set capture 1 equiv of fluoride via
a Si–F–B bridging motif.
