Participants

Reaction Steps

In a further experiment (see Table I - Exp. No. 3), an attempt to dissolve solid methyllithium with cyclohexane containing two equivalents of THF resulted in a sparingly soluble product (MeLi=0.20M - THF/MeLi=18.5 mole ratio) which precipitated (clear solution=0.13M) overnight in the refrigerator at 0° C. In the final experiment (see Table I - Exp. No. 4) an attempt to dissolve solid methyllithium with toluene containing two equivalents of diethyl ether (Et2O) also resulted in a slightly soluble product. (MeLi=0.14M - THF/MeLi=22.2 mole ratio.)
