aromatic radical-anions of lithium or lithium metal in the presence of an aromatic electron-transfer catalyst. Here we present results showing that lithium dispersion can achieve reductive lithiation in the absence of the electron-transfer agent. This procedure is more efficient, and surprisingly, the order of reactivity of substrates is reversed depending on whether the electron-transfer agent is
