The rate of intramolecular carbolithiation onto an unactivated
alkene to give a six-membered ring has been determined and follows first
order kinetics with a half life of ∼90 min at 23 °C; this allows
significant racemization using a chiral organolithium species, although
good levels of optical purity are obtained with a phenylthio-substituted
alkene.
分子内烃基化到未活化的非官能性烯烃上形成六元环的速率已经确定,遵循一阶动力学,在23°C时半衰期为90分钟;这允许使用手性
有机锂物种进行显著的消旋化,尽管使用苯
硫基取代的烯烃可以获得很好的光学纯度。
