Aliphatic halides

Reaction of the dilithiated species 416 and 419 with alkyl halides, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and TMSC1 leads to products 421 and 422 in modest yields (Scheme 129) [83TL4735 86JCR(S)20]. In cases of the N-benzyl amides corresponding to 415 and 418, small amounts of benzylic functionalization is observed (see also later). The methyl and carbinol derivatives corresponding to 421 and 422 were quantitively hydrolyzed into useful synthons 423 and 424, and 425 and 426, respectively.
