Abstract

Abstract Product distributions are reported for several reactions in hydrocarbon solvent of 3- neopentylallyllithium, the 1, 4-addition product of tert-butyllithium and 1, 3-butadiene. Protolysis with several agents yields predominately the “normal” products [(Ia) and (Ib)] with less than 6% of the terminal olefin observed. The ratio of the cis/trans isomers [(Ia) and (Ib)] parallels the ratio of the lithiated forms before protolysis. Reaction with ...
