33. The use of the cis/trans nomenclature for the allyl derived from butadiene is retained here although this is contrary to IUP AC standards, which recommend use of the syn/anti nomenclature. However, it allows us to discuss allyls derived from cis- and frarcs-butadiene without having to switch to the designators anti and syn, respectively.
34. Butadiene π-complexes of the monomeric allyl lithium species are only marginally stable, with binding energies greater than -10 kJ/mol. Thus, they are not stable enough to form stable spe
