Abstract
Abstract The metalation of benzylmethyl sulfide with n-butyllithium in hexane and in the presence of TMEDA has been investigated. The results show that metalation occurs only at the benzylic position with no Wittig type rearrangement, cleavage of thioether bond and aliphatic or aromatic substitution. The lithium derivative has been allowed to react with some electrophiles.
