26. The lithiated species can be assumed to possess a structure 3, in which the deprotonated center is part of a newly formed double bond (see refs.[1c][2]). In analogy to the deprotonation of ketones, the C-H bond to be broken during the deprotonation step should, for stereoelectronic reasons, be as close to parallel as possible in relation to the aryl π orbitals, so that the developing p orbital can be stabuzed early.

47. It should be noted that mild conditions (0°C) are required to achieve a reasonably high yield. At higher temperatures, an increased formation of by-products was observed and the isolated yield of rac-20 dropped, for instance, to 32% when the reaction was performed at 40°C. Addition of HMPA, which is reported to give improved yields in some comparable cases[15], resulted only in a decreased yield of rac-20 (ca. 30% at 0°C).

72. Complex rac-1 was prepared as described in ref.[5]; complex 50 was obtained from 6,7-dimethoxytetralin by complexation and disilylation: H.-G. Schmalz, A. Schwarz, unpublished results.
73. 6]DMSO conditions (lower temperatures and/or shorter reaction times) failed.
74. The degree of deuteration (and the level of inaccuracy) was determined (estimated) by comparison with the integrals observed for the methoxy or the TMS groups.
75. The fact that no significant loss of regioselectivity was found in these experiments indicates that the inherent directing effect must be stronger than the primary kinetic isotope effect.
76. A protonation at the chromium atom of the anionic intermediate, which would eventually have resulted in the formation of an endo-protonated complex could thereby be excluded.
77. -3. Further details of the crystal structure investigations are available on request from the CCDC; for details see ref. [29d].
78. The formation of benzylic alkylation products derived from rac-7 was established by NMR of the crude product mixture but purification was not successful due to rapid decomposition.
79. Brocard and Lebibi (ref.[6d]) summarize their experiments: "The regiospecificity of the benzylic functional group of arenetricarbonylchromium cannot be explained by preferential attack at the carbon which is eclipsed by the chromium-carbonyl bond. Electronic effects in directing the regiospecificity of benzylic attack were found to predominate."

98. This representation is favorable due to the experimental fact that the anions possess a high configurative stability; see, for instance: S. E. Gibson, M. J. Schneider, M. H. Smith, J. Chem Soc., Chem. Commun. 1996, 839. Our own NMR data of some lithiated species (see: T. Volk, Dissertation, TU Berlin, 1996) support this picture.
