Widening the usefulness of epoxides and aziridines in synthesis

  • David M. Hodgson , Philip G. Humphreys and Steven P. Hughes

Abstract

Deprotonation of terminal epoxides and aziridines with organolithium/diamine combinations or lithium amides allows the regio- and stereoselective formation of α-lithiated species. Judicious choice of reaction conditions allows these species to operate as nucleophiles, enolate equivalents, vinyl cation equivalents, or carbenes.
