• temperatures such as 0 °C. It is also noteworthy that monolithiation of 2,2′-dibromobibenzyl (43) can be achieved with high selectivity even at 0 °C and 24 °C. The resulting organolithium intermediate reacted with various electrophiles to give the corresponding products in high yields with high selectivity

• before (see Scheme 3), gives chemoselectively methylenecyclopentanols, while the vinylsilane unit remains unchanged (Scheme 10). [24] Recent work revealed that addition one equivalent of organolithium reagent (R1Li) to the reaction mixture leads to the formation of ketones of type 46 (Scheme 10), which

Pd-catalysed [3 + 3] annelations in the stereoselective synthesis of indolizidines

• the absence of the alkyllithium reagent. As outlined in Table 1, Entries 2–4, the annelation was found to proceed in the absence of n-BuLi, however, in all cases the yield of cyclisation product was significantly lower than with catalyst generated by the organolithium reagent. Whilst the underlying

• %). Introduction The emergence of indium(III) compounds as efficient Lewis acid catalysts presents new and exciting opportunities for organoindium chemistry. [1][2] It was found that the low reactivity of trivalent organoindium reagents can be increased by complex formation with organolithium compounds.[3] The
