Reductive lithiation of arylalkyl methyl ethers / Azzena, U.G., Simonetta, C., Giovanni, M., Alessandra, S.. - In: TETRAHEDRON. - ISSN 0040-4020. - 47:(1997), pp. 16205-16212. [10.1016/S0040-4020(97)10080-1]
abstract:
We have investigated the reductive cleavage of arylalkyl methyl ethers with an excess of lithium metal and a catalytic amount of naphthalene. The reaction proceeds regioselectively in the presence of various substituents on the aromatic ring, allowing access to a wide array of arylalkyl lithium derivatives, some of which are not easily accessible by conventional methods
