E. Doris et al., STEREOSPECIFIC SUBSTITUTED ALKENE SYNTHESIS BY ORGANO LITHIUM REDUCTIVE ALKYLATION OF EPOXIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(43), 1994, pp. 7943-7946
Stereospecifically alkylated olefins were synthesized in good yields b
y reaction of various epoxides with organolithium reagents with concom
mitant introduction of the alkyl group.
