Geg. Linares et Ns. Nudelman, REACTION OF LITHIUM DIALKYLAMIDES WITH CARBON-MONOXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF RADICAL SCAVENGERS, Anales de la Asociacion Quimica Argentina, 84(6), 1996, pp. 619-624
The reaction of lithium dialkylamides with carbon monoxide has been st
udied under several reaction conditions. Evidence about the mechanism
of this reaction has been afforded. it is shown that whereas the carbo
nylation of aryllithiums takes place by electron transfer mechanism, i
n the reactions of lithium dialkylamides no evidence for radical inter
mediates was found.
