Procedure

To a solution of 18.3 g (109 mmol) of diphenylmethane in 400 mL of hexane were added 11.99 g (109 mmol) of potassium t-amylate. To the resulting pale yellow solution were added 68.75 mL of 1.60M (110 mmol) butyl lithium. The thick, bright orange slurry was stirred overnight. The solids were collected on a filter, washed three times with 100 mL, then twice with 50 mL of hexane, then dried under reduced pressure. The yield of bright orange powder was 18.23 g, 81.2 percent.
