20. When we used n-BuLi partial transesterification of the epoxy ethyl ester was observed, this must be due to the formation of n-BuOLi from oxidation of n-BuLi by TBPLi (see: Boche G., Mbus K., Harms K., Lohrenz J.C.W., Marsch M. Chem. Eur. J. 2:1996;604-607. ) or probably already present in the n-BuLi. If EtLi is used, the ester is not affected
