Abstract

Summary: The regiospecific a-alkylation of in situ gen- erated a-chloroallyllithium species with primary alkyl bromides and the synthetic utility of the derived secondary allylic chloride intermediates are described. ... Sir: Heteroatom-substituted allyl carbanions 1 have re- ceived considerable attention directed at evaluating their synthetic potential and at understanding their modes of reactivity with electrophiles.' The expanding list of heteroatoms examined in these capacities ...
