Recent developments in the chemistry of lithiated epoxides
Although the lithium base-induced β-elimination of epoxides to allylic alcohols is a well-known reaction, α-lithiation has also been described many times. The resulting lithiated epoxides, first postulated as intermediates by Cope in 1951, have been invoked in a wide range of reactions, with their c...
