TY - JOUR AU - Field, Leslie D AB - The nature of the lithium counter cations association with sulfur-stabilized allylic carbanions is investigated by 2-D HOESY (6Li–1H) spectroscopy. The association is best described as either an unsymmetrical dihapto(η2)-bonded lithium to the C1 and C2 carbons or a monohapto(η1)-bonded lithium to C1 in a position close to C2. The lithium is spatially closer to C1 than C2 and there is no indication of interaction with the C3 carbon. These structural traits for lithiated (E)-1-(t-butylthio)but-2-ene in THF and in the presence of TMEDA at 220 K differ markedly to those obtained from the low temperature X-ray crystal structure of this anionic system.
