Organolithium additions to styrene are synthetically viable

Chemistry

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In diethyl ether at -78 to -25 degrees C, styrene undergoes efficient addition reactions with a range of alkyllithium reagents, and the intermediate benzyllithiums can be trapped (e.g. with carbon dioxide and chlorotrimethylsilane); two aryl-substituted styrenes are shown to react in a similar manner.
