Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound that is most suitable for the shown transformation of a living polymer is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Metalation is a chemical reaction which includes the bonding of a metal to an organic compound to form a new compound.

This reaction normally involves the replacement of a halogen atom in the molecule with a metal atom.

For lithiation reactions, usually two equivalents of lithium metal are used.

Lithium-halogen exchange reactions are quite commonly used for preparation of organometallic compounds by transmetallation.
