Abstract
In diethyl ether at -78 to -25 degrees C, styrene undergoes efficient addition reactions with a range of alkyllithium reagents, and the inte rmediate benzyllithiums can be trapped (e.g. with carbon dioxide and c hlorotrimethylsilane); two aryl-substituted styrenes are shown to reac t in a similar manner.
