Original reactions of α,α-dithio aryl alkanes with butyllithiums
摘要:
Thioacetals derived from aromatic ketones react with butyllithiums already at -78-degrees-C and produce via a reductive process the corresponding alpha-thiobenzyllithiums in high yields. The same reaction also takes place selectively, under suitable conditions, with the thioacetals derived from benzaldehyde on which a competing metallation reaction is also possible. These observations clearly show that the thioacetal functionality is not a suitable protecting group against alkyllithiums for aromatic carbonyl compounds.

Alkyl aryl selenides react with lithium arenides to produce, regioselectively, alkyllithiums and lithium arylselenolates. Experimental conditions, especially the temperature, have a profound effect on the course of this reaction and on the nature of the products.
Arylcycloalkanes have been prepared from acetophenone by a three-step sequence involving the synthesis of α-pheny(ω-alkenyl)methylselenides and their reaction with butyl-lithium reagents to give an intermediate which adds across the CC double bond to give 2-methyl-2-phenylcycloalkylmethyl-lithiums with stereocontrol; other syntheses of these compounds are also described.
Epimerisation usually occurs during the synthesis of arylalcanes from the corresponding benzylselenides which involves benzyllithiums as intermediates. This has been used to produce stereoselectively arylcyclopentanes and arylcyclopropanes. γ-Benzenesulfonyloxyalkyl selenides substituted on the carbon bearing the benzenesulfonyl group behave differently and lead stereospecifically to arylcyclopropane
2-Ethyl-1-methyl-1-phenyl cyclopentane, unavailable by butyllithium-promoted carbocyclisation of the corresponding alkenyl selenide, has been efficiently produced using two different strategies involving the carbocyclisation of 6-phenyl-6-methylseleno-1-heptene as the key step.
