Abstract
The lithiation reaction of inomethyl)4,6-dimethyl-2-(trimethylsilylmet hyl)ben 2 with (BuLi)-Li-n (2 equiv,) affords a unique aggregated spec ies 3 of the parent lithiated compound and (BuLi)-Li-n in a 2:2 ratio in which the bridging carbon atoms and the lithium atoms are arranged in an unprecedented ladder-type arrangement with exclusively bridging alkyl groups.
