Application

sec-Butyllithium solution (1.4M in cyclohexane) has been used in the multi-step synthesis of 5-methyl-5,6-dihydrothymidine (5-MDHT) from thymidine. It has also been used in the copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of allyl bromides, chlorides, and ethers in the presence of a chiral ligand.

Packaging

The 25 mL Sure/Seal bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.

A series of 6,6-dihalo-2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and 7,7-dihalo-2-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane compounds were prepared by the reaction of dihalocarbene species with N-Boc-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles or -1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines. Monochloro substrates were synthesised as well, using a chlorine-to-lithium exchange reaction. The behaviour of several aldehydes and ketones under reductive amination
