Abstract

Heterosubstituted propargyl and allenyl organolithium reagents have potential as synthetic precursors to highly functionalized 3-carbon fragments.'We report here the preparation of the dianion 1, 2 and reactions of the propargyl selenides derived from it (Scheme I). Phenyl propargyl selenide is rapidly deprotonated by 2 equiv of lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran or glyme at-78" C to give a pale yellow solution of the dilithium reagent l. 3 ...
