The reductive cleavage of tetrahydrofuran at −78°C can be easily achieved by using an excess of lithium powder in the presence of BF3·OEt2 and a catalytic amount (<8%) of an arene (naphthalene, biphenyl, 4,4′- di-tert-butylbiphenyl or anthracene), the best results being obtained with naphthalene. The dianion prepared by this method reacts with carbonyl compounds yielding 1,5-diols.
通过在BF 3 ·OEt 2和催化量(<8%)的芳烃(萘,联苯,4,4)存在下使用过量的锂粉,可以轻松地在-78°C下四氢呋喃的还原裂解′-二叔丁基联苯或蒽),用萘可获得最佳结果。通过该方法制备的二价阴离子与羰基化合物反应,生成1,5-二醇。
