turbo hauser base effect on some compounds

i was reading about turbo-hauser bases
and that common ones are
iPr2NMgCl·LiCl, iPr-Turbo-Hauser base

TMPMgCl·LiCl, TMP-Turbo-Hauser base

i also read that those two differ in their reactions

“iPr2NMgCl·LiCl can show a different reactivity compared to TMPMgCl·LiCl. Armstrong et al. showed that the TMP-Turbo-Hauser base easily metalates ethyl-3-chlorobenzoate in the C2 position, while the same reaction carried out with the iPr-Turbo-Hauser base resulted in no metalation at all. Instead, an addition-elimination reaction occurs.[5]”

i noticed that it addition-substitution reacted with an ethyl ester, so i was wondering if it would replace
1) OH acid
2) H aldehyde
3) OMe methyl ester
i assume it would work better with the OH, (but what about the aldehyde?)


i was then wondering if it was only directed because of the 2-Chloro,

but anyway, the two substitutions that i am wondering about are regarding
the idea of Et2NMgCl•LiCl substituting the OH in the attached molecule and also in the case of m-Toluic acid (producing DEET in that case).

i was wondering if it would preferentially metallate the molecules where there are pi orbitals at the double bonds.
