Alkenes from terminal epoxides using lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide and organolithiums or grignard reagents.
E-Alkenes (including arylated alkenes, dienes, and allylsilanes) are efficiently prepared by alpha-deprotonation of terminal epoxides using lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide, followed by in situ trapping with organolithiums or Grignard reagents.
