59. The superior versatility of compounds containing the phenylthio group as substrates for reductive lithiation arises from their almost unique ease of construction, particularly by methods involving C-C bond formation but also by the ability of the phenylthio group to enter a molecule as a nucleophile, electrophile, or radical. In addition, the substrates are almost always able to withstand the powerful nucleophiles/bases that are present in the reductive lithiation conditions. For example, alkyl halides, sulfates, sulfonates, etc. are subject to ready nucleophilic substitution, but most seriously to base induced elimination, thus limiting their use largely to the preparation of primary alkyllithiums unless an aryl or vinyl group is present to increase the rate of the reductive lithiation and favor it over competing processes.
