Abstract

The title problem was investigated in the reaction of the dibromide 1 with carbanions 2a–2g covering a range greater than 15 pK units in DMSO. It was found that the bis (monoalkylated) product 3 arises exclusively or predominantly from the carbanions 2d–2g derived from the less acidic carbon acids 7d–7g whereas the cyclic product of dialkylation 4 prevails in the reaction of the carbanions 2a–2c derived from the more acidic carbon acids ...
