Conclusions
-
1.
Phenolates containing electron-acceptor substituents in the aromatic ring are regiospecifically C-alkylated by hexafluoroacetone and methyl trifluoropyruvate to form monoalkylation products, and in the presence of an excess of hexafluoroacetone form dialkylation products.

2.
In Freon-113, Li and Na phenolates are alkylated by hexafluoroacetone in the o-position, and K phenolates in the p-position; in DMF, irrespective of the counterion, the phenolates form p-alkylation products with hexafluoroacetone. The regiospecific o-alkylation of Li and Na phenolates in nonpolar media, is possibly explained by chelate formation.
