Abstract

In recent years, it has been amply demoqtrated that aromatic radical-anion induced reductive lithiation'* of allyl phenyl thioethers is a versatile and general method of generation of allyllithiums.'O It has been pointed outB that two very attractive features of reductive lithiation of phenyl thioethers as a method for the production of organolithiums are the great ease of preparation of the substrates and the fact that the more highly substituted, and ...
