Abstract
Several years ago, in a series of preliminary communiwe reported the direct nucleophilic acylation of a variety of organic electrophiles by acyllithium reagents, RC (0) Li. The latter, for effective utilization in synthesis, had to be generated at low temperatures (-135 OC to- 110 OC) in the presence of the organic electrophile. Accounts of the history of nucleophilic acylation and of our own studies relating to the development of acyllithiums as useful ...
