77. In the intermolecular KIE experiment, an effect of the ligand TMEDA was observed. The role of TMEDA is not well understood at the moment and a change in the mechanism for the H/Li permutation cannot be ruled out. For similar studies see:, M. Stratakis, J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 3024-3025. However, structural studies by NMR spectroscopy, DOSY, and X-ray crystallography are underway, with the aim to shed light on this process and on the nature of the lithiated intermediates.
