We have investigated the reductive cleavage of arylalkyl methyl ethers with an excess of lithium metal and a catalytic amount of naphthalene. The reaction proceeds regioselectively in the presence of various substituents on the aromatic ring, allowing access to a wide array of arylalkyl lithium derivatives, some of which are not easily accessible by conventional methods

Abstract
We have investigated the reductive cleavage of arylalkyl methyl ethers with an excess of lithium metal and a catalytic amount of naphthalene. The reaction proceeds regioselectively in the presence of various substituents on the aromatic ring, allowing access to a wide array of arylalkyl lithium derivatives, some of which are not easily accessible by conventional methodsFile in questo prodotto:
