16. This presumably arises via a competing metallation as shown below.{A figure is presented}

18. It is possible that a concerted addition and protonation takes place, most likely involving a lithium amide solvated by neutral amine as shown below (this somewhat overlooks the complications of lithium amide aggregates and possible mixed aggregates involving the alkoxide). This type of idea originates from one of the earliest reports in this area, see:. Clossen R.D., Napolitano J.P., Ecke G.G., and Kolka A.J. J. Org. Chem. 22 (1957) 646 {A figure is presented}
