Carbolithiation of gem-aryl disubstituted methylenecyclopropanes

Abstract

A novel carbolithiation of gem-aryl disubstituted methylenecyclopropanes was disclosed by the treatment with BuLi in THF at −78 °C. The corresponding addition products can be obtained in good to high yields by quenching with various electrophiles.
