The effects of Lewis basic phosphoramides on the aggregate structure of t-BuLi have been
investigated in detail by NMR and DFT methods. It was determined that …

Benzylic functionalization is a convenient approach towards the conversion of readily
available aromatic hydrocarbon feedstocks into more useful molecules. However, the …

Abstract HBr and DMPU (1, 3‐dimethyl‐3, 4, 5, 6‐tetrahydro‐2‐pyrimidinone) form a room‐
temperature‐stable complex that provides a mild, effective, and selective hydrobrominating …

A convenient procedure has been developed for the preparation of synthetically useful,
room-temperature-stable aryllithiums starting from aryl chlorides and lithium metal. The …

Strategies for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds from the α-thioaryl carbonyl products of
substituted lactams are described. Although direct functionalization is possible, a two step …

Magnesium (Mg) has many useful applications especially in the form of various Mg alloys
that can decrease weight while increasing strength compared with common steels. To …

Silylene transfer to allylic sulfides results in a formal 1, 2-sulfide migration. The
rearrangement yields substituted silacyclobutanes, not the expected silacyclopropanes. The …

In search for new examples of absolute asymmetric synthesis (AAS), chiral α‐substituted
benzyllithium complexes have been prepared. While [Li (phet)(pmdta)](1)(phet= 1 …

One of the most widely used methods of preparation of organolithium compounds is by the
reductive lithiation of alkyl phenyl thioethers or, usually less conveniently, alkyl halides with …

The publications appeared in the last eleven years on the topic of the preparation of
organolithium reagents by nondeprotonating methodologies and starting from non …
