29. Phenyllithium and MeLi are unable to promote the reaction whereas EtLi and t-BuLi were significantly inferior to the use of BuLi. Employing 2 equiv of ethylhexyllithium, trimethylsilylmethyllithium, or hexyllithium or 1 equiv and an additional equivalent of BuLi and alkylating with cyclohexanone as a test electrophile affords 4a in 34-50% yield.
30. Sequential deprotonation and protonation of 1, 5b, and 5c at -78°C leads to diminishing recovery with 1-iodo-2,2,4-trimethylpentan-3- ol affording only 2-isopropyl-3,3-dimethyloxetane.
