Towards planar tetracoordinate carbon in the puckered ladder structure of dilithiated 1-di-tert-butylhydroxymethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropene
Abstract
The title compound crystallizes as a THF-solvated dimer with tetracoordinate R1R2CLi2 carbons approaching planarity and unusual C–C lengths in the cyclopropene ring.
