L. Brandsma et al., DRAMATIC ACCELERATION OF ALKYLATION REACTIONS WITH ORGANOLITHIUM COMPOUNDS BY POTASSIUM TERT-BUTOXIDE, Recueil des travaux chimiques des Pays-Bas, 113(11), 1994, pp. 529-530
Reactions of organolithium compounds with alkyl halides and with epoxi
des are considerably accelerated by addition of equivalent amounts of
potassium tert-butoxide.
