Abstract

During the course of our study of chiral vinyllithium reagents1 we frequently witnessed the formation of byproducts which could be rationalized as resulting from a nucleophilic-type substitution on a vinylidene carbenoid. Several studies have been undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of these interesting reactions. The results of our initial investigations have been published, in part, in the form of short communication^.^-^ When the substrates were ...
