Abstract

Enolate anions 3 and 6, prepared via enolization of a-bromo and dibromo ketones 4 and 6 were converted in high yield to ynolate anions 10 by respective addition of lithium tetramethylpiperidide (to effect deprotonation, 3-7) or butyllithium (to effect metal-halogen exchange, 6-7). Mixtures of such enolates were also obtainable from esters 1 on a large- scale (25 mol) via in situ formation and addition of lithiodibromomethane (from methylene ...
