Abstract

Abstract Reductive cleavage of open chain and cyclic α- N , N -dialkylamino-substituted benzyl alkyl ethers 1a – f with a dispersion of Li metal and a catalytic amount of naphthalene in THF, allowed easy access to a wide array of α- N , N -dialkylamino-substituted benzyllithium derivatives. Reaction of these organometallics with various electrophiles afforded the expected products in satisfactory yields.
