The electropositive nature of alkali metals allows for insertions into alkali metal-carbon bonds. Thus, the reaction of an organoalkali metal reagent with an unsaturated organic molecule produces a more complex organoalkali metal... 

Solutions of TMEDA-complexed organoalkali metal reagents provide convenient homogeneous systems for metallations. For example, the metallation of benzene (reaction 19.6) proceeds more efficiently if BuLi TMEDA...

Lewis Acid Property of Alkali Metals in Organoalkali Metal Reagents 125... 

Highly nucleophilic organoalkali metal reagents are widely utilized in organic synthesis [7, 8]. The reaction with an electrophile provides a new bond that is a fundamental bond forming reaction. In this type of reaction, function of alkali metal as Lewis acid affects the reactivity and reaction selectivity. Recent extensive studies on mechanism have revealed that the mixed aggregation of substrate, alkali metal reagent, solvent, and additives control the reaction.
