The metathesis between an organic halide and an or-ganolithium known as the lithium-halogen interchange was discovered some 50 years ago by the groups of Wittig and Gilman. 1, 2 The reaction, which is a reversible process leading to an equilibrium mixture favoring the more stable organolithium, 3 has been used extensively to prepare relatively stable organometallics such as aryl-, 4'10 vinyl-5-9, 11, 12 ancj cyclopropyllithiums6" 9, 13 by treatment of the corresponding organohalide with a more reactive alkyl-lithium, but the use of the interchange for the generation of an alkyllithium has, with a few notable exceptions, 14" 16 met with less success. 4" 9 The difficulties commonly en-countered in the formation of simple alkyllithiums by lithium-halogen interchange are a consequence of the re-versible nature of the reaction and the capricious behavior of alkyl halides when treated with an organolithium. Competing reactions such as ß-elimination, 4'9 a-metala-tion, 17 and Wurtz-type coupling to producesymmetrical and mixed hydrocarbons3, 6" 9 can seriously compromise the interchange as an efficient route to alkyllithiums.
