3. α-Heterocarbanions are regarded as stabilized if they carry stabilizing groups on the anionic C atom (e.g. π-systems) or dipole-stabilizing groups, for example acyl groups, on the heteroatom (cf. ref. [1 a]).
4. The term carbanion is used for strongly polar organometallic compounds, although it has been known for some time that they do not contain isolated carbanions either in solution or in the solid state.
