74. Nitriles also form lithium enolates that react directly with epoxides. Their chemistry is very straightforward, and it will not be discussed. For representative reports, see Taylor, S. K.; DeYoung, D.; Simons, L. J.; Vyvyan, J.; R.; Wemple, M. A.; Wood, N.K. Synth. Commun. 1998, 28, 1691 and references therein.
75. A thorough search was complicated because some workers did not cite key references.
