Abstract

The olefins are commercially available and relatively cheap. We later found that the metallations can be carried out more economically using the system BuLi · t-BuOK · TMEDA in the inert solvent hexane. ... Norbornene and norbornadiene have been successfully metallated with the complex BuLi · t-BuOK in tetrahydrofuran and a number of derivatives prepared by reaction of the metallic intermediates with electrophilic reagents. ...
