Abstract

Each of the four products resulting from the benzylation of the ambident β-naphthoxide anion can be efficiently and selectively obtained in mild an economical conditions by a judicious choice of the solid base: LiOH, LiOtBu or KOH-Aliquat. ... J. Am. Chem. Soc., 81 (1959), p. 2705 In this paper, N. Kornblum emphasized that “full utilization in synthesis of the fact that heterogeneous reaction results in C-alkylation would provide quantitative yields of C-alkylated products ...
