Reaction of [o-C6H4(CHRRâ²)(CHRâ³Râ´)](R,Râ²,Râ³,Râ´H or SiMe3) With LiBun in n-hexane in the presence of Me2NCH2CH2NMe2(tmeda) or MeN (CH2CH2NMe2)2(pmdeta) results in selective lithiation of the α-carbon in a manner dependent on the nature of the associated substituents and the tertiary amine to afford novel crystalline lithium alkyls; a single-crystal X-ray structure determination of [o-C6H4(CHSiMe3)2}Li(tmeda)}2] shows each lithium to interact with both the α-and adjacent ring carbon atoms from opposite sides of the o-xylidene plane.
