22. 3-hybridized electrophiles such as methyl halides and also benzyl halides give a poor yield of C-atkytation, which generally does not exceed 35-40%; cf. Rubinger, M. M. M.; Mann, J.; Drew, M. G. B. Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 11295. Moreover, the classical problem of polyalkylation is circumvented with methyl cyanoformate.
