49. Lithiated styrene oxide 2 showed a lifetime in a macro batch system, below -9O°C in THF and in the presence of three equivalents of TMEDA, of only 30 min before decomposition takes place, whereas lithiated 3-methyl-2-phenyloxiranes 3, under the same conditions, proved to be chemically stable for at least 2 h.
50. In the present paper the adjective "carbenoid" is used to describe any carbene-like reactivity of an oxiranyllithium as it was introduced for the first time by: L. Friedman, H. Shechter, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1959, 81, 5512-5513;
51. according to G. L. Closs, R. A. Moss, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1964, 86, 4042-4053, we use the noun "carbenoid", instead, with reference to an oxiranyllithium exhibiting an ambiphilic behaviour, that is a nucleophilic as well as an electrophilic reactivity according to the employed experimental conditions.

56. As a validation of the choice of basis set, 2 was also optimised at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level of theory. The average of the differences in bond distances at the two different levels was found to be very small (0.003 Å, see also Table S3 in the Supporting Information). Thus, a geometry optimisation using the smaller basis set seems to be sufficient.

58. A number of NMR studies on several a-benzyl carbanions have shown that the signal for the ipso-carbon atom is low-field shifted with respect to the corresponding position in the neutral precursor, showing a decrease of π- electron density and, therefore, a net positive charge in the anionic system: a) A.

80. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 1448-1454) that when a "stable" heteroaggregate, kinetically inert to further reaction with the starting material, forms during a metalation reaction it generally tends to lower the yield of the final adduct after "quenching" of the reaction mixture with an electrophilic source ; this drawback cannot be overcome even in the presence of an excess of the same organolithium. NMR and experimental data (ref. [14]) showed that just 1.2 equivalents of sBuLi proved to be sufficient to promote a complete consumption of the starting oxirane providing at the same time an almost quantitative α-deuteration of lithiated styrene oxide.

86. Surprinsingly, a literature search failed to reveal any systematic NMR spectroscopic study of mixed aggregates derived from sBuOLi and sBuLi in polar solvents. Indeed, very recently, only computational studies of mixed nBuLi/Li-iV-methyl-2-pyrrolidine methoxide aggregates in both hexane and THF (H. K. Khartabil, P. C. Gros, Y. Fort, M. F. Ruiz-Lopez, J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 9393-9402)
87. and of sBuLi with chiral lithium alkoxides in THF (L. M. Pratt, O. Kwon, T. C. Ho, N.V. Nguyen, Tetrahedron 2008, 64, 5314-5321) have been reported.
88. Further investigations on sBuLi/sBuOLi mixtures are underway and will be reported in due course.

114. e = 1.17 h. However, the new 2D spectrum did not show additional cross-peaks.
115. 20, a similar chemical shift value was observed. Therefore, the peak at <3 = 0.57 ppm might in principle be assigned to LiOH or to alkoxides, as discussed in the main body of the paper.
116. Concentration-dependent studies were frustrated by the very high reactivity of 2. The only successful and feasible dilutions (in order to obtain "homogeneous" samples to be compared) could only be performed directly in the NMR tube by adding solvent. Any attempt to pull a portion of the sample containing the oxiranyllithium up into a syringe in order to dilute it more, led to a considerable quenching and decomposition of the anion. That is why the "precious" sample of optically active and doubly enriched styrene oxide was only diluted (in the NMR tube) up to a factor of 2. Isolated samples of racemic lithiated styrene oxide, prepared at higher dilution (up to 0.03 M), showed that the various aggregates continued to compete with the monomeric species; however, they were always in slow equilibration on the NMR timescale.

124. A recent computational investigation performed on lithiated ethylene oxide by Pratt suggested that this type of oxiranyllithium might indeed exist as a mixture of two six-centre diastereomeric dimers and three diastereomeric tetramers, the latter characterised by an higher distortion of their geometry compared to that of alkyllithium tetramers just owing to lithium chelation by the oxirane oxygen atoms: L.

132. In Table 1 is shown the calculated chemical shieldings for the free and solvated monomer applying two different basis sets. It is observed that the more flexible basis set, including two d-functions on heavy atoms, gives a slightly better agreement with the experimentally observed chemical shifts. However, the small difference between the methods encouraged us to use the smaller basis set in the studies of the larger aggregates involving the dimer 4. The chemical shift dependence on the level of geometry optimisation was also examined for compound 2. Only small differences could be observed, which indicates that the smaller basis set (6-31 + Gd) adequately represents compound 2. See also B. J. Lynch, Y. Zhao, D. G. Truhlar, J. Phys. Chem.
