Another triflate ester that recently has found growing application in organic synthesis is commercially available trimethylsilylmethyl trifluoromethanesul fonate. This powerful alkylating reagent can be used for the synthesis of various methylides by an alkylation-desilylation sequence A representative example is the generation and subsequent trapping by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of indolium methanides from the corresponding indole derivatives and trimethylsilylmethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate [108] (equation 54)... 

Because enolate anions ffle sources of nucleophilic car bon, one potential use in organic synthesis is their- reaction with alkyl halides to give a-alkyl derivatives of aldehydes and ketones ... 

Tlie interest in the preparation and use of dithiolium salts in connection with the synthesis of TTF derivatives led to the development of a new uses of heteroaromatic cations in organic synthesis. Based on that, a new carbonyl olefination for the synthesis of numerous heterofulvalenes was developed (77S861). For example, 2-dimethoxyphosphinyl-l,3-benzodithiole was deprotonated with butyllithium in THF at -78°C and the resulting phosphonate carbanion reacted with 9-alkyl-acridones to give the dithia-azafulvalenes of type 45 (78BCJ2674) (Scheme 15).

The use of organozirconium compounds as carbanion equivalents is greatly facilitated by trans metallations to the more reactive aluminum [11,100], copper [104—106], nickel [96—98], and palladium [99] derivatives. Copper-catalyzed carbon—carbon bond-forming reactions of alkyl- and alkenylzirconocene compounds have been particularly well studied, and have found considerable application in organic synthesis [107,108]. 

Allene (1) and its alkyl and aryl derivatives have long been used in organic synthesis, especially in cycloaddition reactions, whether these are thermally [5] or photochemi-cally induced and involve metal catalysis or polar reagents [2], Potentially more interesting derivatives arise when the allene group is connected with other unsaturated building blocks as shown in Scheme 5.1. 

The a-alkylation of enolates derived from ketones with alkyl halides is a very important and frequently used method for forming new carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis [40]. Yet, if the a-alkylation of enolates derived from ketones with alkyl halides can be replaced by the direct reaction of ketones with alcohols, this method would provide a very useful waste-free, green route to a-alkylation, producing no side products other than water.
