Klappentext This book! Volume 23 in the Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry series! presents organolithium chemistry from the perspective of a synthetic organic chemist! drawing from the synthetic literature to present a unified overview of how organolithiums (compounds in which there is a clear carbon-lithium bond) can be used to make molecules. The twin themes of reactivity and selectivity run through the book! which reviews the ways by which organolithiums may be formed and the ways in which they react. Zusammenfassung Whilst research into organolithium compounds has been ongoing! little is known about organolithium products of ortholithiation reactions. This volume contains an up-to-date survey of organolithiums and their use in synthesis. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: scope and overview; organolithiums in solution. Regioselective synthesis of organolithiums by deprotonation: general points; lithiation alpha to heteroatoms; ortholithiation; lateral lithiation; remote lithiation! and beta-lithiation of non-aromatic compounds; superbases; co-operation! competition and regioselectivity. Regioselective synthesis of organolithiums by X-Li exchange: halogen-lithium exchange; tin-lithium exchange; chalcogen-lithium exchange; phosphorus-lithium exchange. Regioselective synthesis of organolithiums by C-X reduction: reductive lithiation of alkyl and aryl halides; reductive lithiation of C-O bonds; reductive lithiation of C-N bonds; reductive lithiation of C-S bonds; reductive lithiation of C-C bonds and pi-bonds. Stereoselective and stereospecific synthesis of organolithiums: configurational stability of organolithiums; Stereospecific synthesis of organolithiums by X-Li exchange; diastereoselective deprotonation; enantioselective deprotonation. Stereospecific and stereoselective substitution reactions of organolithiums: stereospecific reactions of organolithium compounds; stereoselective substitution in the presence of chiral ligands. Regio- and stereoselective addition reactions of organolithiums: intermolecular addition to pi bonds - carbolithiation; intramolecular addition and substitution reactions - anionic cyclization.
